How long does it take to drain a splenic abscess by puncture?

The time needed for puncture and drainage of splenic abscess is about half an hour, but due to the different sizes of the abscess and the different physical conditions of the patients, the time will vary, but not more than one hour. When the patient has a splenic abscess, the first thing to do is to carry out an ultrasound examination to clarify the location of the splenic abscess, and then inject 5% lidocaine to carry out local anesthesia, and after sufficient anesthesia, use a puncture needle to carry out the puncture, and then firstly, enter into the guide wire to do the placement of drainage tube, and then drain out the pus after placing it. The whole process of puncture and drainage takes half an hour. Due to individual variability, some patients may take up to an hour. Splenic abscesses can be associated with abdominal pain, fever, nausea and vomiting, and in severe cases, rupture of the spleen leading to peritonitis. When a splenic abscess occurs, it is necessary to go to the hospital in time for puncture and drainage, so as not to cause adverse effects on the body, and at the same time, it is necessary to take a good rest after the operation, so as to avoid infections that affect the recovery of the disease.
