Abstract
Transvaginal catheter drainage of pelvic and intraabdominal abscesses with the use of real-time ultrasound guidance is described. The technique was successfully used in two patients to drain abscesses in the cul-de-sac. Transvaginal drainage is a safe simple alternative to transabdominal, transgluteal, and transrectal drainage of these abscesses.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
