Objective To investigate the feasibility of ultrasound-guided percutaneous drainage for the treatment of peripancreatic abscess. Methods The clinical data of 36 patients with peripancreatic abscess who were admitted to the General Hospital of the Chengdu Military Command were retrospectively analyzed. All the puncture sites were designed according to the region, range and shape of the abscess, and then the angle and the direction of the needle penetration were determined according to the spatial relationship between the puncture site and the abscess. Finally, the drainage tubes were placed under the guidance of the ultrasound. Results The technique was successfully performed on all the patients, and 33 patients were cured with the cure rate of 92%.The mean healing time was 37 days. Three patients were converted to laparotomy because of the unsatisfied therapeutic effects. Enterocutaneous fistula was detected in 3 patients after the surgery and they were cured after receiving nonoperative management. All patients were followed up for 3-48 months, and neither residual abscess nor recurrence was detected. Two patients were complicated with type one diabetes, one with dyspepsia, two with gallstone, and they were cured by symptomatic treatment. The body weights of 27 patients were increased compared to those before the operation. Conclusion Ultrasound-guided percutaneous drainage is effective for the treatment of peripancreatic abscess.
