Percutaneous Abscess Drainage

Percutaneous Abscess Drainage

A common procedure in most radiology practices is placing a drain or catheter percutaneously under imaging guidance. Usually, the development of an abscess, no matter the location in the body, requires further intervention when a simple incision and drainage cannot be performed. Percutaneous drainage can bridge the gap between noninvasive and surgical intervention with minimally invasive, image-guided drainage. Depending on the performing radiologist’s preference and the abscess’s location, drainage catheter placement can be performed under computer tomography or ultrasound guidance. This activity highlights the role of the interprofessional team in carrying out the procedure successfully for the best patient outcomes.
