Abstract:
Objective To investigate the methods and effects of applying choledochoscope in drainage of retroperitoneal abscess.Methods Eighteen cases of retroperitoneal abscess,who underwent open surgical debridement and drainage or PCD but the drainage was ineffective,were selected for use of choledochoscope to irrigate and debride the abscess repeatedly.Results All of the 18 patients had effective choledoscopic treatment;in 17 patients the abscess healed and drainage catheter was successfully removed;but in one patient,who developed pancreatic fistula,was cured by internal drainage operation performed 6 months later.Conclusions Use of choledochoscope as an adjunctive treatment after drainage operation of retroperitoneal abscess is simple,safe,and effective.
