Abstract


Introduction: To evaluate the effective therapeutic modality i.e. intermittent percutaneous needle aspiration versus continuous catheter drainage in treatment of liver abscess.

Method: This is a prospective study of 70 patients presented in OPD or emergency, randomized equally into two groups, having a volume of 300-700cc on USG.

Result: Success rate was better in catheter drainage with earlier clinical improvement as better compliance, quick relief and least stressful for both patients & clinician.

Conclusion: Therapeutic effectiveness when PCD was better when compared with PNA.

Keywords


PNA, Percutaneous needle aspiration, PCD, Percutaneous catheter drainage, Liver abscess, Percutaneous drainage.
