Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of various management modalities of Liver abscess and assess their outcome.
Materials and Methods: Sixty patients with pyogenic liver abscess who presented to Rajah Muthiah Medical college and hospital were randomly selected for a prospective observational study. Management modalities like antibiotic administration, usg guided percutaneous aspiration [PCA], USG guided percutaneous drainage [PCD] with pigtail catheter, laparoscopic aspiration and laparotomy drainage were done for the patients depending on their condition, size of abscess cavity and their outcomes was observed and assessed.
Keywords: antibiotic therapy, interventional sonography, liver abscess, PCD-Percutaneous drainage, laparoscopy and laparotmy.
