Abstract

Objective To compare the pros and cons of ultrasound-guided and CT-guided percutaneous drainage in the treatment of liver abscess. Methods 80 cases (80 liver abscess) of patients with liver abscess who were treated in CT/MRI room of Daye City People's Hospital from May 2012 to May 2015 were randomly selected, they were divided into two groups according to the treatment methods, namely ultrasound group (n=40) and the CT group (n=40). The ultrasound group were given percutaneous ultrasound-guided drainage therapy, while the CT group were given CT-guided percutaneous drainage therapy. Results The 2 times success rate of ultrasound group was significantly higher (P<0.05), the 3 times success rate was significantly lower (P<0.05), the operating time was significantly shorter than CT group (P<0.05), However, the differences of 1 time success rate, total treatment efficiency, complication rates between the two groups were not significant (P>0.05). Conclusion Ultrasound-guided and CT-guided percutaneous drainage in the treatment of liver abscess are safe and effective, but the former is more facilitated and economic than the latter.
