Modified drainage of submasseteric space abscess.

ABSTRACT: Once a submasseteric space infection is diagnosed, the key to resolving the infection is via surgical intervention to evacuate the pus. Although it is possible and occasionally practical to drain the submasseteric space via an intraoral approach, an extraoral approach may sometimes be required. Surgeons have encountered complications such as facial nerve damage during extraoral incision and drainage procedures, and they have felt that extraoral dissection was very difficult. As such, an easier and simpler technique is needed. Our department recently modified various drainage techniques for submasseteric space abscesses. Damage to the marginal branch of the facial nerve did not occur, and this technique was very simple and rapid, such that a novice physician could perform this procedure. This modified technique was possible with trismus and under local anesthesia. After intraorally checking the position of the drain, the intraoral wound is closed with an absorbable suture and the drain is fixed to the extraoral skin. When a masseteric space infection is diagnosed, multiple space involvement is ruled out, and dependent drainage is required, this modified drainage technique can be useful.

Extensive Prostatic Abscess in an Elderly Patient Requiring Multidisciplinary Drainage.

Project description:Background. Prostatic abscess is rare and mainly affects immunocompromised individuals, classically presenting with both systemic and lower urinary tract symptoms. Our case is unique as the patient presented with an exceptionally long duration of symptoms prior to seeing a health-care provider, had no systemic symptoms, and was managed via a multidisciplinary approach. Case Presentation. We present a case of a 70-year-old man with type-two diabetes who endured two months of lower urinary tract symptoms and constipation without systemic symptoms prior to seeking medical attention. He had a positive urinalysis and culture and was initially thought to have a urinary tract infection; however, computed tomography scan revealed a large, complex, and multiloculated prostatic abscess. Multidisciplinary drainage of the abscess was performed by interventional radiology and urology. A postoperative Foley catheter was left in place, and the patient recovered without complications. Discussion. Prostatic abscess is uncommon and presents almost exclusively in patients with immunocompromising conditions such as diabetes. Prior to the advent of antibiotics, the major causes were gonorrheal and Staphylococcus aureus infections, but with the advent of antibiotics, microbial culprits have shifted to gram-negative organisms. Patients typically present with lower urinary tract symptoms, perineal or lower back pain, and systemic symptoms. Management often consists of intravenous antibiotics and surgical drainage either by transrectal ultrasound-guided needle aspiration, or transurethral deroofing of the prostate. Our case highlights the following: (a) the importance of a high index of suspicion for a prostatic abscess in an immunocompromised patient with persistent leukocytosis and perineal pain after treatment with antibiotics and (b) the potential for an early multidisciplinary approach to draining extensive, loculated prostatic abscesses.

MANAGEMENT OF LUNG ABSCESS WITH PERCUTANEOUS CATHETER DRAINAGE.

Project description:Percutaneous catheter drainage was used to treat 12 among 34 cases of lung abscesses, who were refractory to medical therapy, severely ill and high risk cases for surgery. A complete clinical and radiological recovery was achieved in all the cases who underwent catheter drainage, thereby obviating the need for surgery. None of the cases had catheter or procedures related complications. From this study it is inferred that percutaneous transthoracic catheter drainage is a safe and an effective modality of therapy for patients with lung abscess in whom medical therapy has failed and those who are unsuitable for surgery.

Minimally invasive and inexpensive percutaneous abscess drainage using an indwelling needle cannula.

Project description:PurposeAbscess is still a formidable disease and requires adequate drainage. Moreover, drainage in the head and neck area needs cosmetic care, especially in the pediatric population. In this report, we introduce our method of percutaneous abscess drainage using an indwelling needle cannula.Patients and methodsTen pediatric and five adult patients with cervical and/or facial abscess treated with this drainage method were retrospectively reviewed. Using an indwelling needle cannula (18-14 G Surflow®, Terumo, Tokyo, Japan), abscesses were penetrated under ultrasonic examination. Once purulent retention was identified, the inner metal needle was removed and the outer elastic needle was left and fixed. The outer needle was connected to the tube for continuous suction drainage for large abscess.ResultsThe primary diseases of these abscesses were cervical abscess of dental origin (5), purulent lymphadenitis (3), pyriform sinus fistula (2) and subperiosteal abscess due to mastoiditis (2), circumorbital cellulitis (1), infection of Warthin's tumor (1), and unknown origin (1). The median (range) duration of drainage was 4 days (3-9 days). Abscesses were successfully treated, and no patients required additional incision for abscess drainage. No apparent scars after drainage were observed.ConclusionThis technique resembles the usual venous placement of an indwelling needle cannula and is thought to be familiar to physicians. Although simple and inexpensive, this drainage is safe, effective, and minimally invasive for the treatment of abscess.

Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery for Drainage of Dorsal Paravertebral Abscess.

Project description:Tuberculosis of the spine is the second most common extrapulmonary presentation of the disease and is associated with significant morbidity. The drainage of the abscess may be needed in patients who fail to respond to medical treatment and present with a significant or deteriorating neurologic status. The dorsal spine gives a unique opportunity for decompression alone as it is supported by the rib cage, decreasing the chances of collapse. Drainage of the abscess in the dorsal spine usually needs an open thoracotomy. Open thoracotomy is associated with increased blood loss, pain, and increased postoperative rehabilitation period. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is an excellent alternative for decompression of dorsal paraspinal abscess with significantly decreased blood loss, soft tissue dissection, scarring, and hospital stay. Overall, this leads to significantly decreased postoperative morbidity and faster recovery. The purpose of this article was to describe the indications and procedure of VATS for drainage of dorsal spine paravertebral abscess.

Early drainage reduces the length of hospital stay in patients with lung abscess.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough percutaneous transthoracic catheter drainage (PCD) has been proven effective in lung abscesses, the optimal timing of PCD is still unclear. The study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of early versus delayed drainage in patients with lung abscesses.MethodsThis retrospective study included 103 consecutive patients with liquefied lung abscesses more than 3 cm confirmed by a CT scan received CT-guided PCD over 16 years, from July 2005 to September 2021, in a single institution were reviewed. Early drainage was defined as PCD within one week after a lung abscess was diagnosed. The primary outcome was 90-day mortality. The secondary outcomes included perioperative complications and patients' length of hospital stay (LoS). Factors associated with 90-day mortality and LoS were also analyzed. The key statistical methods were Chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, Student t-test, and Pearson correlation.ResultsAmount the 103 patients, there were 64 patients who received early PCD, and 39 patients received delayed PCD. Between the two groups, there were no significant differences in clinical characteristics, 90-day mortality, or perioperative complications. The LoS was significantly shortened in early PCD group (28.6 ± 25.5 vs. 39.3 ± 26.8 (days), p = 0.045). Higher Charlson comorbidity index, secondary lung abscess, and liver cirrhosis were associated with higher mortality (all p < 0.05). Positive sputum culture significantly increased the LoS (coefficient 19.35 (10.19, 28.50), p < 0.001).ConclusionThe 90-day mortality and complications were similar for early PCD and delayed PCD patients, but LoS was significantly shortened in early PCD patient.

Decreasing the Duration of Discharge Antibiotic Treatment Following Inpatient Skin and Soft Tissue Abscess Drainage.

Project description:Introduction:Skin and soft tissue abscesses do not require prolonged systemic antimicrobial treatment following drainage. We aimed to decrease the duration of discharge antibiotic treatment to less than 5 days following inpatient incision and drainage of uncomplicated abscesses. Methods:A new treatment protocol that defined uncomplicated abscesses, as well as inclusion and exclusion criteria, was created to monitor the accurate duration of prescribed therapy at discharge. We implemented a treatment algorithm that takes into account the epidemiologic changes in microbial etiologies and the presence of systemic findings for patients after surgical incision and drainage. We used control charts to assess the impact of the interventions. Results:Four hundred and eighteen patients were discharged following abscess drainage from our inpatient infectious diseases unit in 2016. The patients were 3 months to 21 years of age. Only 72 (17%) patients had prescribed discharge antibiotic treatment courses that were less than 5 days [range 0-31 days, median 8 days (IQR 6, 9)], and the average prescribed course at discharge was 8.6 days. During the study period, we significantly decreased the average duration of discharge antibiotics to 7.3 days in all patients (P = 0.0016, 95% CI: -2.1036 to -0.4964, difference of means -1.3). The discharge treatment duration of patients with uncomplicated abscess was shorter at 4.7 days [range 0-9 days, median 5 days, (IQR 3, 5)]. Prescription compliance to less than 5 days treatment course at discharge increased from the baseline of 17% to 42% overall. Conclusions:Standardizing definitions of uncomplicated skin and soft tissue abscesses was critical to the success of this project. In addition to possible improved treatment adherence and decreased side effects, our protocol led to decreased patient care costs with no documented changes in readmission rates.
