Pigtail catheter versus open surgical drainage in liver abscess management

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Individualized treatment programs for liver abscesses are essential. Therefore it is of interest to compare and evaluate pigtail-catheter with open surgical drainage in liver abscesses. Hence, a total of 126 patients were divided randomly into 2 groups with 63 each open surgical drainage group and pigtail-catheter drainage group. We found that statistically significant difference was seen between the 2 groups for various variables. Moreover, pigtail-catheter drainage showed comparatively more effective results than open surgical drainage.
