How to treat a subphrenic abscess

For patients with mild abscesses, anti-inflammatory treatment is usually used, and microwave therapy can be used to help absorb the abscess. For patients with more severe symptoms and larger abscesses, an incision and drainage of the abscess is required to help treat the abscess. At present, with the development of technology, puncture and drainage is often used for large abscesses under the guidance of ultrasound to help eliminate the abscess. Percutaneous puncture and drainage is not only less invasive but also less painful for the patient, and recovery is faster than traditional surgery. A percutaneous puncture tube is usually inserted into the abdomen by a surgeon in conjunction with a color ultrasound surgeon, and antibiotics are used to treat the bacteria causing the abscess, and the tube is removed when the abscess disappears. If the abscess does not go away and the drainage is not effective and the antibiotics do not work well, open drainage surgery is required. In general, it is possible to treat the abscess with drainage surgery, so there is no need to worry too much.
