Percutaneous Drainage of tubo-ovarian abscesses.
Radiology, 1992Co-Authors: Giovanna Casola, Eric Vansonnenberg, H B D'agostino, C P Harker, R R Varney, D SmithAbstract:The authors performed Percutaneous Drainage of 27 tubo-ovarian abscesses (TOAs) in 16 patients in whom medical therapy with triple antibiotics prior to catheter Drainage had not been successful. Percutaneous Drainage was successful in 15 of 16 patients (94%). One patient underwent total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy 3 days after catheter placement because of persistent symptoms and lack of Drainage from the catheter; at laparotomy, a large infected phlegmon was found. Two patients had recurrent disease at 3 and 4 months after catheter placement. Bilateral salpingectomy was performed in one patient and total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in the other. One of these patients had cervical carcinoma, and the other had a long history of recurrent pelvic inflammatory disease and TOAs. The long-term avoidance of surgery was 81.2%. Access routes for catheter Drainage were through the anterior abdominal wall for 10 abscesses, through the posterior transgluteal route for 11, and through the transvaginal route for six. Duration of Drainage was 1-20 days (mean, 6 days). Complications consisted of transient sciatic pain in two patients and mild bacteremia in one. The results indicate that Percutaneous Drainage of TOAs is effective in patients in whom medical therapy is not successful.

Treatment of pancreatic pseudocysts with Percutaneous Drainage and octreotide. Work in progress.
Radiology, 1993Co-Authors: H B D'agostino, Eric Vansonnenberg, R B Sanchez, Brian W. Goodacre, R G Villaveiran, K LycheAbstract:In an attempt to decrease catheter Drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts, a combined regimen of Percutaneous Drainage and administration of octreotide acetate was used in eight symptomatic patients. Indications for the combined therapy were pseudocyst recurrence (four patients), pancreatic fistula from Percutaneous Drainage (two patients), or elective treatment to restrict pancreatic Drainage. Octreotide acetate was administered subcutaneously in doses of 50-1,000 micrograms three times a day. The drug was well tolerated and produced only limited adverse effects in four patients: pain at the injection site, hypoglycemia, diarrhea, headaches, and lower-extremity edema (more than one adverse effect was experienced by each patient). The combined use of Percutaneous Drainage and administration of octreotide was effective in seven patients and failed in one patient who had distal pancreatic duct occlusion. In five patients, catheter Drainage decreased to no measurable amount by a mean of 13.8 days. These results ...
