Conventional radiologic methods had given the limited informations about itraabdominal abscesses. Today,however, CT and ultrasongraphy provide detailed anatomic location, number and dimension of intraabdominal abscessand also permit percutaneous placement of catheter large enough to effect drainage. Percutaneous catheter drainageof intraabdominal abscess now offers an alternative to surgery. This simple method of mechanical drainage, whenemployed with systemic antibiotics, can be successful in treating the majority of intraabdominal abscesses.Authors analysed 24 cases of percutaneous abdominal abscess drainage performed at chonnam Natinal UniverstiyHospital from May 1985 to June 1986. The results were as follows: 1. The sites of abscesses; liver in 14cases(58.3%), psoas muscle in 3 cases(12.5%), subphrenic space in 3 cases (12.5%), pelvic cavity in 2 cases(8.3%),perirenal space in 2 cases(8.3%). 2. Complications during or after procedures were minor in the majority of cases.3. Average duration of drainage was as follows: 7.8days in liver abscess, 15.3 days in psoas abscess, 6 days inpelvic abscess, 7 days in subphrenic abscess.

Pyogenic liver abscesses are rare in children. In pediatric patients, altered host defences seem to play an important role. However, pyogenic liver abscess also occurs in healthy children. We experienced a case of pyogenic liver abscess in a healthy immunocompetent 10-year-old-girl. The patient presented two distinct abscesses: one subphrenic and the other intrahepatic. The intrahepatic abscess resolved with percutaneous drainage and 3 weeks of parenteral antibiotic therapy but the subphrenic abscess which could not be drained needed prolonged parenteral antibiotic therapy in addition to oral antibiotic therapy. We performed follow-up serial CT scan of the abscess cavity to decide on the duration of antibiotic therapy. Here we present this case with a brief review of the literature.

Eighty-four-year old man who had lapalotomy for stomach ulcer perforation 35 years ago was admitted for left lower chest discomfort. Chest X-ray and CT showed a large mass with air fluid level in left lower lung field. The tentative diagnosis was infected bronchogenic cyst. After a thoracotomy, the mass was confirmed as elevated diaphragm and subphrenic abscess with a foreign body, retained surgical gauze. The pus and gauze were located between stomach and diaphragm. His hospital course was smooth and uneventful, he was discharged with good outcome on postoperative day 9.

5.Recurrent Gastrobronchial Fistula after Esophagectomy: one case report.
The Korean Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery 2001;34(2):189-193
Gastrobronchial fistula is an extremely rare condition. It is usually associated with trauma, esophagogastric surgery, subphrenic abscess, gastric ulcer, and neoplasm. A case of recurrent gastrobronchial fistula secondary to a benign gastric ulcer 2 and 3 years after Ivor Lewis procedure for treatment of esophageal carcinoma is described. The literature of this subject is reviewed and discussed.

Gastropleural fistula is a very rare disorder, caused by various conditions, such as trauma and postoperative complication, subphrenic abscess, malignancy, hiatal hernia. The major causes of the gastropleural fistula have changed from trauma and subphrenic abscess to postoperative complication of malignant disorders. We report a case of empyema that developed respiratory failure caused by gastropleural fistula in a middle age woman with review of related articles.

Acute hepatic failure, liver infarction, abscess, intrahepatic biloma, and multiple intrahepatic aneurysms could be complicated after transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) in a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma. Conservative managements such as nutritional support and control of sepsis for gastrointestinal fistula have been recommended for the last few decades. Histoacryl(R) has been applied to treat gastrointestinal fistula. We report a case of liver abscess after TAE followed by hepatosubphrenic abscess in a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma. The fistula between liver abscess and subphrenic abscess was occluded with Histoacryl(R) injection by ERCP. Endoscopic nasobiliary drainage and percutaneous drainage were performed respectively. Both abscesses were treated, but the patient died of hepatic failure.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has been popularized all over the world as the treatment of choice for unnecessory symptomatic or asymptomatic gall stones. Initially, this surgery was applied to limited indications, but nowadays the indications of the surgery have been expanded to include severe, inflamed, complicated patients with gall stones, which used to be thought of as contraindications in the past. Surgeon,s technical improvement and newly devised surgical instruments made it possible to expand the limit of surgical indications for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. However, anatomical disorientation due to severe inflammed gall bladder is still the drawback to the possible occurrence of laparoscopic bile duct injury and bleeding. We have a clinical analysis of 32 cases of laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis or G.B.empyema, surgical time,safety and case were evaluated. Two patients were converted to open laparotomy because of intraoperative bile duct injury and anatomical disorientation by hepatic flexure colonic interposition. As a result, we suggest that even in patients with subphrenic abscess or bile peritonitis secondary to G.B.empyema could be the indications for the laparoscopic cholecystectomy if surgeon's ability or patient's condition allow it.
