Popis: We performed percutaneous suction aspiration and drainage on six patients suffering from pyogenic spondylitis. In one case, recurrence of the inflammation occurred, however, five cases showed satisfactory results after this treatment. This technique was successful for obtaining bacteriological diagnosis, relieving the patient's symptoms and assisting in the eradication of the infection.
