LIVER ABSCESS DRAINAGE

Dr.sandeep Sharma

A pus-filled patch of fluid within the liver is known as a pyrogenic hepatic abscess. Pyogenic denotes the production of pus. A liver abscess can arise from a number of various causes, including a blood infection, an abdominal infection, or an infected abdominal injury. An abscess in the liver is a serious infection. It has the potential to cause major issues and even death. It can cause tissue damage in the spot where it is discovered. Fever, discomfort, nausea, diarrhoea, and loss of appetite are all possible symptoms. The whole first treatment for an amebic liver abscess is amebicidal medicines. The medication of choice is metronidazeole. The size of the abscess is a key determinant in deciding how well medical therapy works. Other treatment options include percutaneous needle aspiration and/or catheter drainage.  The type of abscess that occurs is influenced by one's age. People in their 40s and 60s are more likely to have a liver abscess that is not caused by trauma. 

The following are some of the reasons to drain an amebic liver abscess: A left-lobe abscess with a diameter of more than 10 cm. An impending rupture and abscess that fails to react to medical treatment within 3-5 days. A single or multiple-stage strategy for ultrasound-guided percutaneous drainage can be used.

 The fluid collection is inserted directly using a catheter, commonly 8F or 12F in size, in the one-stage procedure. An interventional radiologist places a small needle into the abscess under imaging guidance (CT, ultrasound, or fluoroscopy) to retrieve a biopsy of the contaminated fluid from an area of the body such as the chest, abdomen, or pelvis.  Image-guided, minimally invasive procedures like percutaneous abscess drainage are typically conducted in an interventional radiology suite or under CT guidance in a separate area of the radiology department by a highly trained interventional radiologist.

Bilateral Varicocele Embolization

Image
Varicoceles are not life-threatening, however, they can be linked to serious illnesses in rare cases. If a varicocele arises on the right side of the abdomen rather than the left, for example, make sure there is no mass or other abnormalities in the abdomen that could be causing it. Blood is transported back to the heart via veins throughout the body. They usually feature valves to keep the blood flowing in the right way. When the valves in the testicular vein don't work properly, blood can pool in the scrotum, resulting in a varicocele. They commonly happen on the left side, and they're caused by the testicular vein's path through the abdomen. Varicocele is a frequent condition that is not hazardous. In fact, a varicocele affects 15% of all adult men. Many men's varicocele will go undiscovered for the rest of their lives or may create no complications at all. Varicoceles affect about 20% of teens, therefore a portion of them will most likely resolve on their own. The

Multiple- Five Metastases Microwave Ablation

Image
Microwave ablation is a type of thermal ablation used to treat cancer in interventional radiology. To create tissue-heating effects, MWA uses electromagnetic waves in the microwave energy band (300 MHz to 300 GHz). Frictional heating is caused by the oscillation of polar molecules, which leads to tissue necrosis in solid tumours. It's typically utilised to treat and/or relieve the symptoms of solid tumours in patients who aren't surgical candidates. While some liver tumours can be surgically removed, the vast majority are inoperable and must be treated with other methods. Ablation (tissue destruction) is one such method. It is a surgical treatment that has traditionally been conducted using a variety of techniques, including Request for Applications (RFA) (Radiofrequency Ablation). People with liver metastases may benefit from ablation therapy, which can help lower the chance of cancer recurrence. Although ablation therapies do not eradicate tumours, they can result in complet
