The clinical data, number of drainage cathete rsplaced, amount of drain, duration of placement, complications and follow-up were retrospectively analysed.Results One drainage catheter was successfully placed for each patient. The amount of abscess drained was30 to 180 ml (mean 52 ml) and the duration of placement was 6 to 34 days (mean 11 days). No major complications occurred. Conclusion The transgluteal approach to the drainage of deep pelvic abscess under CT guidance was safe and effective.
