Treatment of intractable ascites by continuous reinfusion of the sterilized, cell-free and concentrated ascitic fluid
Abstract
The new method for continuous reinfusion of sterilized, cell-free and concentrated ascitic fluid is described, and utilized in 72 patients with intractable ascites in both malignancy as well as liver cirrhosis and is described with satisfactory results. The management by repeated ascites reinfusion of patients with benign massive ascites has been possible. This method is capable of being applied to patients with malignant ascites. Symptomatic relief and prolonged survival time is anticipated. The method described in this study is simple and free of adverse effects.
