About Retroperitoneal Abscess Drainage

Retroperitoneal abscess drainage is a minimally invasive procedure performed by a gastroenterologist to treat a collection of pus (abscess) in the retroperitoneal space, the area behind the abdominal cavity. Using image guidance, typically from CT or ultrasound, the doctor inserts a thin needle and then a drainage catheter through the skin to reach the infected fluid. This allows for the pus to be drained out, relieving pressure, controlling infection, and preventing serious complications like sepsis. It is a critical alternative to open surgery, offering a faster recovery with less pain and scarring for the patient.

Key Highlights

Minimally invasive procedure with no large surgical incision required.Performed under image guidance (CT/Ultrasound) for high precision and safety.Effectively drains infection, alleviates pain, and prevents the spread of sepsis.Typically results in a shorter hospital stay and faster recovery compared to open surgery.Lower risk of complications and less post-procedure pain.Leaves only a small puncture site, minimizing scarring./ul

Who is this surgery for?

Confirmed retroperitoneal abscess identified via CT scan or ultrasound.
Signs of systemic infection (fever, chills, elevated white blood cell count) originating from the abscess.
Persistent abdominal or flank pain unresponsive to antibiotics alone.

Complication from conditions like pancreatitis, diverticulitis, appendicitis, or post-operative infection.
Failure of intravenous antibiotic therapy to resolve the infection.

How to prepare

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to three other doctors...

I'd been to three other doctors for this nagging pain and fatigue. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Latha at MGM was the first one who actually sat and listened, really listened, to everything I was saying. She ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be something quite rare. She explained it all to me in plain Tamil, drew diagrams on a notepad. I was scared, but she laid out a clear plan. It's been a long road, but I finally feel like we're getting somewhere.
