CT-guided percutaneous pelvic abscess drainage in Crohn's disease.

BACKGROUND: Percutaneous abscess drainage (PAD) is the current therapy for abdominal or pelvic collections. PAD has poorer curative rate for abscesses in Crohn's disease (CD), commonly complicated by wide fistulas and multiloculations. METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated abscess cure rate, complications and final outcome in 87 CD patients, 70 with spontaneous and 17 with postoperative pelvic abscesses, all treated with CT-guided PAD during the last 7 years. RESULTS: A 77% primary success rate and an 84.3% secondary success rate were obtained without major complications. The higher success rate for PAD was for postoperative (88.2%) rather than spontaneous abscesses (74.2%). Seventy-two percent of treated patients did not develop recurrent abscesses and underwent elective surgery up to 40 months later. CONCLUSION: PAD in pelvic abscess complicating CD is an effective alternative to early surgery with satisfactory curative success rates. In unsuccessful cases, due to wide fistulas or postoperative anastomotic dehiscence, PAD helped in planning elective surgery, reducing surgical complications.

[Postoperative complications of Bartholin's duct abscess. About two cases].

Bartholinitis is the most common infectious vulvar disease and develops in approximately 2% of all women. The choice concerning treatment may be uneasy between medical or surgical modalities, and we have to be cautious because of the risk of severe complications associated with the procedure. We report two cases: one case of sepsis and the other one of bacterial cellulitis after Bartholin's duct abscess marsupialization. In the light of epidemiological and bacteriological date referring to Bartholinitis, we recommend a safe and effective management (particularly the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics) that we will describe.
