Abstract

Background:

Pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) is a purulent disease caused by microbial contamination of liver parenchyma and includes amoebic liver abscess, fungal liver abscess, and the most common bacterial liver abscess.

Objective:

Explore the efficacy of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) vessels and surgical drain guidance percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD) in the treatment of pyogenic liver abscesses (PLA).

Materials and Methods:

A total of 86 PLA patients who underwent PCD treatment in our hospital from May 2018 to February 2023 were retrospectively selected. Of them, 41 patients were treated under intravenous CEUS guidance (Control group), and 45 patients were treated under CEUS vessels and surgical drain guidance (study group). Perioperative characteristics, treatment effectiveness, and incidence of complications were analyzed and compared between groups.

Results and Discussion:

The duration of surgery, drainage, white blood cell recovery, body temperature recovery, and hospitalization in the study group were longer than those in the control group (P<0.05). The total effective rate of the study group (95.56%) was higher than that of the control group (80.49%) (P<0.05). The incidence of complications in the study group (4.44%) was lower than that in the control group (19.51%) (P<0.05).

Conclusion:

Compared with intravenous CEUS alone, treatment under CEUS vessels and surgical drains-guided PCD was associated with shorter surgical time, faster recovery, better treatment effect, lower risk of complications, and ensured treatment safety in PLA patients.
