Abstrakt: Background: Intra-abdominal abscesses continue to be a major source of morbidity and mortality in today's surgical practice. Localized intra-abdominal abscesses usually tend to form in relation to the affected viscus. A proper diagnosis and abscess localization are mandatory for prompt treatment. Laparoscopic drainage for a massive intra-abdominal abscess is minimally invasive, enabling exploration of the abdominal cavity without the use of a wide incision. Aim: To evaluate the outcome of laparoscopic management of abdominal abscesses not amenable to percutaneous or transrectal CT guided or ultrasound US-guided drainage. Results and conclusion: Laparoscopic drainage was a feasible, safe, and effective therapeutic modality for pelvic-abdominal abscesses. Laparoscopic drainage is a minimally invasive procedure with low PO morbidities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
