Abstract (German)

In den Jahren 1978 bis 1982 wurden bei 44 Patienten 52 perkutane abdominale Abszessdrainagen vorgenommen. Die Abszesse waren in 79% als postoperative Komplikationen aufgetreten. Die Ausheilungsrate betrug insgesamt 60%, wobei die linksseitigen subphrenischen Abszesse mit 42% die unguenstigsten Ergebnisse aufweisen. Komplikationen fanden sich in 4,5%. Die Ursachen fuer Therapieversager waren: Lebersequester, geklammerte Abszesse, Fisteln und Rezidive. Die perkutane Abszessdrainage stellt eine Alternative und wertvolle Ergaenzung zur septischen Chirurgie dar. (orig.)
