Percutaneous drainage of prostatic abscesses

D Kadmon et al. J Urol. 1986 Jun.

Abstract

Percutaneous catheter drainage of intra-abdominal abscesses currently is a well established technique. We report on 2 anuric patients on maintenance hemodialysis who presented with a prostatic abscess. We elected to use a transperineal, percutaneous drainage technique. Adequate drainage was documented by pelvic computerized tomography scans and followup confirmed satisfactory long-term results.
