Oh CH. Clinical efficacy and safety of percutaneous drainage for post-operative fluid collection in patients with bladder cancer undergoing radical cystectomy and urinary diversion. Medicine (Baltimore) 2023; 102:e36488. [PMID: 38065871 PMCID: PMC10713095 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000036488] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2023] [Accepted: 11/15/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
To evaluate the success rates of percutaneous drainage for fluid collection after radical cystectomy, with emphasis on factors affecting the clinical success, including lesion, patient, and procedure characteristics. In this retrospective study, 31 percutaneous drainage catheters were placed in 29 consecutive patients between January 2021 and September 2023. Most fluid collections formed near the uretero-ileal anastomosis site in the right pelvic cavity (80.6%). The technical success rate was 100%. The primary and final clinical success was 80.6% and 96.9%, respectively. Lymphoceles notably increased the primary clinical failure risk (odds ratio and 95% confidential interval: 22.667 (1.839-279.366), P = .015). Significant differences were observed between transabdominal and transgluteal approaches in terms of fluoroscopic time, dose, and location. Leakage indications on computed tomography prompted differing interventions, but all achieved final clinical success. Percutaneous drainage for post-operative fluid collection is safe and effective in patients with radical cystectomy and urinary diversion.

Abstract
Uterine fibroids (UFs), leiomyomas or myomas, are a type of malignancy that affects the smooth muscle of the uterus, and it is most commonly detected in women of reproductive age. Uterine fibroids are benign monoclonal growths that emerge from uterine smooth muscle cells (myometrium) as well as fibroblasts. Uterine fibroid symptoms include abnormal menstrual bleeding leading to anaemia, tiredness, chronic vaginal discharge, and pain during periods. Other symptoms include protrusion of the abdomen, pain during intercourse, dysfunctions of bladder/bowel leading to urinary incontinence/retention, pain, and constipation. It is also associated with reproductive issues like impaired fertility, conceiving complications, and adverse obstetric outcomes. It is the leading cause of gynaecological hospitalisation in the American subcontinent and a common reason for the hysterectomy. Twenty-five percent of the reproductive women experience the symptoms of uterine fibroids, and among them, around 25% require hospitalization due to the severity of the disease. The frequency of the disease remains underestimated as many women stay asymptomatic and symptoms appear gradually; therefore, the condition remains undiagnosed. The exact frequency of uterine fibroids varies depending on the diagnosis, and the population investigated; nonetheless, the incidence of uterine fibroids in reproductive women ranges from 5.4 percent to 77 percent. The uterine fibroid treatment included painkillers, supplementation with iron, vitamin D3, birth control, hormone therapy, gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists, drugs modulating the estrogen receptors, and surgical removal of the fibroids. However, more research needed at the level of gene to get a keen insight and treat the disease efficiently.

Low-Dose CT Fluoroscopy-Guided Drainage of Deep Pelvic Fluid Collections after Colorectal Cancer Surgery: Technical Success, Clinical Outcome and Safety in 40 Patients. Diagnostics (Basel) 2023; 13:diagnostics13040711. [PMID: 36832199 PMCID: PMC9955776 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics13040711] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2023] [Revised: 02/10/2023] [Accepted: 02/11/2023] [Indexed: 02/16/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the technical (TS) and clinical success (CS) of CT fluoroscopy-guided drainage (CTD) in patients with symptomatic deep pelvic fluid collections following colorectal surgery. METHODS A retrospective analysis (years 2005 to 2020) comprised 43 drain placements in 40 patients undergoing low-dose (10-20 mA tube current) quick-check CTD using a percutaneous transgluteal (n = 39) or transperineal (n = 1) access. TS was defined as sufficient drainage of the fluid collection by ≥50% and the absence of complications according to the Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe (CIRSE). CS comprised the marked reduction of elevated laboratory inflammation parameters by ≥50% under minimally invasive combination therapy (i.v. broad-spectrum antibiotics, drainage) within 30 days after intervention and no surgical revision related to the intervention required. RESULTS TS was gained in 93.0%. CS was obtained in 83.3% for C-reactive Protein and in 78.6% for Leukocytes. In five patients (12.5%), a reoperation due to an unfavorable clinical outcome was necessary. Total dose length product (DLP) tended to be lower in the second half of the observation period (median: years 2013 to 2020: 544.0 mGy*cm vs. years 2005 to 2012: 735.5 mGy*cm) and was significantly lower for the CT fluoroscopy part (median: years 2013 to 2020: 47.0 mGy*cm vs. years 2005 to 2012: 85.0 mGy*cm). CONCLUSIONS Given a minor proportion of patients requiring surgical revision due to anastomotic leakage, the CTD of deep pelvic fluid collections is safe and provides an excellent technical and clinical outcome. The reduction of radiation exposition over time can be achieved by both the ongoing development of CT technology and the increased level of interventional radiology (IR) expertise.

Abstract
AbstractConventional approaches to the drainage of abscess surrounded by bowel contraindicate percutaneous drainage and often involve more invasive laparotomy. We attempt to demonstrate the use of an image-guided blunt trocar to navigate obstructive bowel and access abdominal abscess. This report presents the use of a blunt trocar to safely maneuver obstructive bowel and perform successful percutaneous drainage of intraabdominal abscess in two separate cases: one presenting a left lower quadrant diverticular abscess and the other presenting an abscess in the right lower quadrant. Thus, traversing obstructive bowel using a blunt trocar under computed tomography-guidance allows for percutaneous drainage of an intraabdominal abscess, and provides a safer and more effective alternative to more invasive procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES As an emerging minimally invasive technology, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has been reported to treat pelvic abscess instead of surgical or image-guided percutaneous drainage (PCD) under certain conditions. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of EUS-guided drainage for patients with pelvic abscesses. METHODS We conducted a comprehensive literature search on PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases (inception-March 2022). The main outcomes were technical success, clinical success, and complications. Comprehensive meta-analysis software was used to calculate the pooled event rate. RESULTS Twelve studies containing 272 patients were included. These pelvic abscesses most frequently developed after abdominal and pelvic surgery (n = 180, 66.2%), inflammatory bowel disease (n = 32, 11.8%), and other inflammatory conditions. Respectively, the pooled technical and clinical success rate was 100% and 88.7% [95% confidence interval (CI): 83.8-92.2%, I2 = 1.0%, p < 0.001]. After excluding an individual study, the pooled rate of complications changed from 11.5% (95% CI: 7.4-17.4%, I2 = 38.8%, p < 0.001) to 8.2% (95% CI: 5.0-13.3%, I2 = 0, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS EUS-guided drainage of the pelvic abscess was feasible, effective, and safe. Further randomized-controlled studies with large-sample sizes were required in the future.

Abstract
Background Postoperative management of patients undergoing visceral surgery can present challenging clinical situations with significant morbidity and mortality. Interventional radiological techniques offer quick, safe, and effective minimally invasive treatment options in the postoperative management of visceral surgery. Summary Most commonly done procedures include - but are not limited to - fluid or abscess drainage, biliary diversion, bleeding embolization, and re-canalization of a thrombosed vessel. While bleeding from side branches after hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeries can be managed by coil embolization, the hepatic arterial injury should be managed by stent-graft placement. Hepatic venous complications can require a transhepatic or transjugular approach, whereas the transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt approach has a higher clinical success rate in patients with portal vein thrombosis. Biliary leakages require multidisciplinary management, and interventional radiology can offer an efficient treatment, especially in patients with biliodigestive anastomosis. Key Messages Interventional radiology provides a broad spectrum of procedures in the management of patients with recent visceral surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The diagnosis and follow up of patients with inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] requires cross-sectional imaging modalities, such as intestinal ultrasound [IUS], magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] and computed tomography [CT]. The quality and homogeneity of medical reporting are crucial to ensure effective communication between specialists and to improve patient care. The current topical review addresses optimized reporting requirements for cross-sectional imaging in IBD. METHODS An expert consensus panel consisting of gastroenterologists, radiologists and surgeons convened by the ECCO in collaboration with ESGAR performed a systematic literature review covering the reporting aspects of MRI, CT, IUS, endoanal ultrasonography and transperineal ultrasonography in IBD. Practice position statements were developed utilizing a Delphi methodology incorporating two consecutive rounds. Current practice positions were set when ≥80% of the participants agreed on a recommendation. RESULTS Twenty-five practice positions were developed, establishing standard terminology for optimal reporting in cross-sectional imaging. Assessment of inflammation, complications and imaging of perianal CD are outlined. The minimum requirements of a standardized report, including a list of essential reporting items, have been defined. CONCLUSIONS This topical review offers practice recommendations to optimize and homogenize reporting in cross-sectional imaging in IBD.

Abstract
Management of the acute anastomotic leak is complex and patient-specific. Clinically stable patients often benefit from a nonoperative approach utilizing antibiotics with or without percutaneous drainage. Clinically unstable patients or nonresponders to conservative management require operative intervention. Surgical management is dictated by the degree of contamination and inflammation but includes drainage with proximal diversion, anastomotic resection with end-stoma creation, or reanastomosis with proximal diversion. Newer therapies, including colorectal stenting, vacuum-assisted rectal drainage, and endoscopic clipping, have also been described.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Drainage is essential for source control of the infection in a pelvic abscess. The purpose of this study was to report 2 cases of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided drainage of the pelvic abscess and review the literature of different modalities of EUS-guided drainage of pelvic abscess. CASE PRESENTATION A 60-year-old male developed a pelvic abscess 1 month after laparoscopic complete tumor resection. An abdominal CT showed a mass shadow (about 7.1 cm × 5.1 cm) in the right pelvic region. Another case was an 85-year-old male who developed a pelvic abscess 3 days after recurrent tumor resection of multiple organs. The CT showed pelvic effusion and gas accumulation (approximately 6.5 cm × 4.2 cm), and the intestinal tube above the small intestinal anastomosis was dilated with effusion. A 19G-A puncture needle was used to puncture the abscess. An 8-mm cylindrical balloon was inserted, followed by a 10 Fr-3 cm double pigtail stent and an 8.5 Fr drainage tube. After EUS-guided drainage of pelvic abscess, the symptoms disappeared without recurrence. CONCLUSIONS EUS-guided drainage is an effective and safe method for treating pelvic abscesses as long as the drainage modality is appropriately selected based on the etiology, size, and mucus viscosity of the abscess.

Abstract
AIM Diverticular disease is widespread worldwide. Mainstay approach is non-operative treatment with bowel rest and broad-spectrum intravenous antibiotics. However, extra-colic abscess larger than 4 cm may require percutaneous trans-abdominal drainage. We report a single centre case series of patients underwent to trans-luminal endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided drainage of pelvic abscess in diverticular disease with temporary placement of lumen apposing metal stent (LAMS). METHODS All patients referred to our tertiary centre from January 2019 to July 2020 were enrolled in a prospective data base that was retrospectively analysed. Procedural steps were as follows: pre-operative computed tomography scan, broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy, EUS-guided deployment of LAMS for 15 days, LAMS removal and deployment of pigtail stent in case of pseudo-cavity persistence. RESULTS Ten patients (6F) with an average of 59.6 years were enrolled with deployment of 10 LAMS. One patient was excluded after EUS evaluation and 1 patient had 2 LAMS for 2 separate abscesses. Technical and clinical success was achieved in 88.8% (8/9). CONCLUSIONS Management of diverticulitis has shifted from primary surgical intervention towards a non-operative approach of bowel rest and broad-spectrum intravenous antibiotics in conjunction with interventional procedures to drain abscesses whenever necessary. EUS-guided drainage with LAMS for the management of diverticular abscesses seems an efficient treatment modality for encapsulated abscesses more than 4 cm in size and close to colonic wall. In expert centres, it may avoid radiologic intervention and/or surgery in a relevant percentage of cases.

Abstract
In order to explore the effect of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based on phase correction algorithm in diagnosing female pelvic abscess, firstly, the effect of phase correction algorithm on eliminating MRI image motion artifacts was studied, then it was applied to 71 female pelvic cases admitted to our hospital in the diagnosis of abscess patients with magnetic resonance imaging technology, and the results were compared with the results of multislice spiral CT and laparoscopy to explore the accuracy of MRI and CT. It was found that the results of MRI examination were close to those of laparoscopy, and the difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05); the results of CT examination and laparoscopy were significantly different, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05); in addition, the results of CT examination, the number of bacterial cysts (43 cases) and tuberculous cysts (12 cases), were significantly lower than the results of MRI (50 cases, 18 cases), and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The size of the mass shown by the MRI examination (4.1 cm × 4.2 cm × 3.9 cm~13.9 cm × 9.5 cm × 8.7 cm) was larger than the size of the mass revealed by the CT examination (5.2 cm × 4.3 cm × 4.1 cm~15.5 cm × 10.1 cm × 9.6 cm), the difference between the two was statistically significant (P < 0.05), and it was closer to the results of laparoscopic pathology (4.1 cm × 4.3 cm × 3.9 cm~14.1 cm × 9.3 cmP < 0.058.7 cm). In short, the phase correction algorithm could eliminate the motion artifacts of MRI images. In the imaging diagnosis of female pelvic abscess, the MRI diagnosis based on the phase correction algorithm is more ideal than the diagnosis of multislice spiral CT. It can be used as a reference basis for clinical disease treatment.

Abstract
Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease located especially in Central and South America, India, the Mediterranean and the Middle East. Human brucellosis occurs as a systemic infectious disease with various clinical manifestations. We present a case of 45-year-old female patient, nulliparous, not sexually active, with a previous medical history of a treated brucellosis, and no surgical or gynecological history. The patient presented with a history of fever for 7 days of 39 degrees Celsius, chills and acute abdominal pain. She was diagnosed with diffuse peritonitis with left tubo-ovarian abscess and was admitted for an urgent diagnostic laparoscopy. A left adnexectomy was performed. The diagnosis of genital brucellosis was made. This case report discusses an unusual complication of brucellosis represented by a tubo-ovarian abscess associated with acute peritonitis, treated by a laparoscopic adnexectomy and antimicrobials. Acute peritonitis associated with a tubo-ovarian abscess is an unusual complication of brucellosis.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: EUS-guided pelvic abscess drainage (EUS-PAD) is a procedure that utilizes an echoendoscope to visualize an area of interest for needle insertion and placement of a stent, catheter, or both for drainage of the target abscess. The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis for the safety and efficacy of EUS-PAD. Materials and Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search of several databases and conference proceedings including PubMed, EMBASE, Google Scholar, MEDLINE, SCOPUS, and Web of Science databases (earliest inception to February 2020). The primary outcomes for this study were the technical and clinical success of EUS-PAD. The secondary outcomes assessed for this study were adverse events of the procedure and subgroup analysis of individual adverse events. Results: Eight studies with a total of 135 patients combined were included in our analysis. The rate of technical success was 100% and the calculated pooled rate of clinical success was 92% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 87%, 98%; P = 0.31; I2 = 15%). The calculated pooled rate of adverse events was 9.4% (±17.9%), with stent migration (5.5 ± 18.06%) being the most common adverse event. Conclusion: EUS-PAD offers a viable alternative that can minimize the need for surgical intervention in the drainage of pelvic abscesses. EUS-PAD has also demonstrated long-term clinical success with an acceptable rate of complications.

Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to evaluate the success and failure rates and minor and major complications of percutaneous drainage of retroperitoneal abscesses. METHODS Between 1990 and 2010, percutaneously drained 170 retroperitoneal abscesses in 150 patients (83 males, 67 females, median age 44.2 years, age range, 1-86 years) were included retrospectively. Percutaneous drainage of retroperitoneal abscesses was performed under the guidance of ultrasonography and fluoroscopy or computed tomography. Six abscesses were drained via single needle aspiration whereas 164 abscesses were drained via catheters of 6-14 F calibre using the Seldinger technique. RESULTS When all retroperitoneal abscesses are considered, success rates were found as follows: 75.3% cure (128/170), 7.7% temporization (13/170), 4.1% palliation (7/170). Failure rate was 12.9% (22/170). Recurrence rate was 10.6% (18/170), and 13 of the recurred abscesses were treated via second session percutaneous drainage. Mortality rate was 2.7% (4/150). CONCLUSION Percutaneous drainage is the first treatment option for retroperitoneal abscesses due to procedural reliability, elimination of need for general anesthesia, better tolerability, and lower morbidity and mortality rates compared with the surgical methods. High cure, temporization, or palliation rates can be obtained via imaging-guided percutaneous drainage for all retroperitoneal abscesses with a safe access route.

Abstract
Background and Aims Pelvic fluid collections (PFCs) are frequent adverse events of abdominal surgery or inflammatory conditions. A percutaneous approach to deep PFCs could be challenging and result in a longer, painful recovery. The transvaginal approach has been considered easy but is limited by the difficulty of leaving a stent in place. The transrectal approach has been described, but issues related to fecal contamination were hypothesized. Data on EUS-guided transrectal drainage (EUS-TRD) with lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMSs) are few and suggest unsatisfactory outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of EUS-TRD with LAMSs in patients with PFCs. Methods A retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained database on therapeutic EUS was conducted. All EUS-TRD procedures were included. Results Five patients (2 male, age 44-89 years) were included. Four patients had postoperative PFCs, and 1 presented with a pelvic abscess complicating acute diverticulitis. Two of 5 had fecal diversion; the remaining 3 had unaltered large-bowel anatomy. One case had a concomitant abdominal collection, treated with percutaneous drainage in the same session. An electrocautery-enhanced LAMS delivery system (15 × 10 mm) was used in all cases. EUS-TRD was performed with the direct-puncture technique and lasted less than 10 minutes in 4 cases; in the remaining case, needle puncture and LAMS placement over a guidewire was required, and the procedure length was 14 minutes. The clinical success rate was 100%. LAMSs were removed after a median of 14 (range, 12-24) days. One patient reported partial proximal LAMS migration after 24 days (mild adverse event). No PFC recurrence was observed. Conclusion EUS-TRD with LAMSs is a safe and effective technique for treatment of PFCs. The use of 15- × 10-mm LAMSs allows rapid PFC resolution. EUS-TRD could be performed not only in patients with fecal diversion but also in cases of unaltered anatomy.

Abstract
We present a case of massive pelvic abscess complicated by sepsis and necrotizing fasciitis successfully treated with surgical drainage. There was complete resolution of sepsis following open surgical drainage of a massive pelvic abscess complicated by necrotizing fasciitis. Larger multi-loculated abscesses or when associated with necrotizing infections may be better approached surgically.
Introduction Intra-abdominal and pelvic abscesses can develop because of multiple etiologies. Typically, these abscesses are managed via a combination of medical (antibiotics) and surgical (drainage) interventions. This is a unique case report of a giant idiopathic pelvic abscess with necrotizing fasciitis that failed conservative management with antibiotics, requiring urgent surgical intervention and complex closure of the wound. Case presentation A 71-year-old female presented to the emergency department in sepsis, complaining of right hip and flank pain of one-month duration. Imaging revealed a giant right flank abscess with necrotizing fasciitis. The abscess extended from the pelvis to the right retroperitoneal space, traversing several soft tissue planes, to the skin. She was treated emergently with open surgical drainage, debridement, and delayed complex closure. The patient significantly improved post-operatively and was subsequently discharged. Discussion Pelvic abscesses are commonly due to gastrointestinal, genitourinary, post-surgical, or rarely idiopathic causes. US, CT, or MRI are the imaging modalities effective in diagnosing and staging abscess severity. Currently percutaneous, image-guided abscess drainage is the primary management due to it being minimally invasive, having better outcomes and reduced hospital stay. In large, multi-loculated abscess as exhibited by our patient, open surgical drainage and debridement of the infected cavity was not only successful but imperative in effective resolution. Conclusion Most pelvic abscesses can be treated with percutaneous drainage but those complicated by necrotizing fasciitis, or multi-loculated collections may be better treated with open drainage.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate outcomes of image-guided transrectal/transvaginal (TR/TV) drainage for symptomatic pelvic fluid collections (SPFCs). MATERIALS AND METHODS Single-center retrospective study of 150 consecutive patients (36 males, 114 females, average age 41 years) who underwent attempted TR/TV drainages of SPFCs during an 11-year, 5-month period. All patients presented with pain and had SPFCs with rectal or vaginal contact on preceding diagnostic CT. Routine technique included Foley catheter insertion, image-guidance with ultrasound and fluoroscopy, 18 g/20 cm Chiba needles, and Seldinger technique for catheter insertion. No anoscope or speculum was used. SPFCs causes were classified by etiology including postoperative-70 (47%); gynecologic-49 (33%); and gastrointestinal-31 (21%). Resolutions of the SPFCs without the need for surgical intervention, collection recurrence, and complications were assessed. Surgical management after attempted TR/TV drainage was considered a failure. RESULTS Technical success was achieved in 172/180 procedures [TR 128/134 (95%); TV 44/46 (96%)]. TR/TV drainage successfully managed SPFCs in 141/150 patients (94% success rate) and 145/150 patients (97%) did not require surgical intervention; 4 patients with failed TR/TV drainage attempts were managed conservatively. In 5 patients requiring surgery, 4 were after technically successful TR/TV and 1 was after a failed TR attempt. Complications occurred in 4 (3%) patients: 2 bladder punctures (both resolved with medical management), 1 propagation of sepsis, and 1 hemorrhagic return from TR drainage that prompted surgical exploration. CONCLUSION Transrectal and transvaginal drainage had high technical success rates and were successful in managing the majority (141/150; 94%) of patients with pelvic fluid collections.
