Abstract
Catheter drainage of left posterior subphrenic collections can be difficult because of lack of a safe access route. We have found that manual compression of the soft tissues of the posterior left flank can create a safe route for catheter drainage, which otherwise would not be possible. This report describes the technique we have used successfully in 8 cases.
