Percutaneous Needle Aspiration of Multiple Pyogenic Abscesses of the Liver: 13-Year Single-Center Experience

Abstract

Percutaneous needle aspiration of multiple pyogenic abscesses under sonographic guidance is a safe, effective, and low-cost procedure. In our experience, percutaneous needle aspiration was acceptable to patients. Our data suggest that a trial of percutaneous needle aspiration should always be undertaken before catheter drainage or surgery.
