Abstract

Introduction: Psoas abscess is a rare pathological entity being retroperitonescopy an unusual therapeutic modality for its resolution.

Materials and methods: The objective is to present and describe five patients with a diagnosis of psoas abscess that were resolved by retroperitoneoscopy in our institution and then carried out a non-systematic review of the literature.

Results: The mean age was 58.8 years and 80% were male. All patients had back pain and none had therapeutic resolution with conservative treatment. 60% of the patients had a methicillin sensitive Staphyylococus Aureus. In the follow-up with a mean of 10.2 months, no recurrence was observed.

Conclusions: Early diagnosis of psoas abscess is important for its correct resolution. In our small series of patients, retroperitoneoscopy was an effective treatment.

Keywords: fat retroperitoneal; laparoscopic; psoas abscess.
