Abstract:
Percutaneous drainage of intraabdominal abscesses has become a routine procedure for preoperative confirmation of diagnosis and patient stabilization, and often provides definitive therapy. Diverticulitis is a frequent cause of pericolonic abscess but rarely results in colouterine fistula and pyometrium. We describe the first reported percutaneous drainage of such a case of pyometrium.
