Abstract: Objective To investigate the technique and clinic value of non-operation management for ERCP-related peripancreatic and retroperitoneal abscess. Methods Five patients with post-ERCP peripancreatic and retroperitoneal abscess were reviewed. Guided by ultrasonic or CT, all the 5 pa-tients underwent puncture and the drainage tube was disposed to the lowest place of abscess. Non-op-eration managements for patients also included the use of anti-inflammatory drugs and enzyme activity inhibition drugs. Results All patients responded to the draining treatment and discharged from hospi-tal after complete recovery. There was no conversion to surgical intervention. Mean draining duration was 52. 4(20-90)d and average hospital stay was 91.8(35-165)d. Conclusion Puncture and drainage management is an effective and safe approach for post-ERCP peripancreatic and retroperitoneal ab-scess. It has advantages of less trauma, less pain, fast recovery and low rate of complications. Punc-ture point should be situated at the bottom or lowest position of abscess and drainage can achieve the best results.
