Overview

The maninstay of treatment of pyogenic liver abscess is percutaneous darinage of abscess. Other methods used are open surgical drainage and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP).[1][2][3][4][5]

Percutaneous Drainage

  • The drainage method used depends on the size and number of abscesses.[1][2][3][4]
  • A single abscess with size less than 5 cm can be drained using either percutaneous catheter drainage or needle aspiration.
  • If the abscess size is more than 5 cm, percutaneous catheter drainage is preferred over needle aspiration.[4][6]
  • The catheters are placed until the drainage is minimal or upto 7 days.[7][8]
  • For multiple or loculated abscesses which are small and easily accessible, percutaneous drainage can be used to drain the abscess.

Surgical Drainage

Indications for surgical drainage of pyogenic liver abscess include:

  • Ruptured abscess
  • Hyperbilirubinemia or renal impairement
  • Multiple and loculated abscesses which cannot be easily accessible by percutaneous drainage
  • Inadequate drainage through percutaneous methods
  • Blockage of catheter due to increased viscosity of abscess
  • Associated with an underlying disease like peritonitis

ERCP

In patients with bile duct stones or strictures, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is used to drain the pyogenic liver abscess.[5]
