Abstract:
Patients who underwent laparotomy often experience recurrent pelvic pseudocysts and they may need to undergo another laparotomy. Nowadays, many less invasive techniques such as the use of ultrasound-guided aspiration of pelvic pseudocysts and sclerotherapy were developed and were replacing laparotomy. We report a case of intractable pelvic pseudocyst treated successfully with ultrasound-guided cyst aspiration and sclerotherapy using acetic acid with a brief review of literature.
