Sixty-two patients who presented with subphrenic abscesses had the abscesses drained percutaneously. Diagnosis of a subphrenic collection was usually made with sonography. Initial percutaneous drainage was accomplished with a combination of sonography and fluoroscopic guidance. More recently (in the last 31 cases) most drainages were done with sonographic guidance alone. Successful catheter drainage was achieved in 85% with a complication rate of 4.8%. Failure of catheter drainage (defined as any patient who was not cured by percutaneous drainage alone) occurred in patients with multiple collections or in whom the primary cause of the abscess necessitated surgery, for example, perforated ulcer, acute cholecystitis. Considerations for successful drainage include understanding the anatomy of the subphrenic space, recognizing the importance of a correct access route (avoidance of the pleura and lung), and the long time necessary for adequate drainage (longer than 10 days in 60%). An angled subcostal approach to the subphrenic space was used in 56 (90%) of 62 cases. No complications occurred in this group. The one pneumothorax that occurred in the remaining six cases was a direct result of using an intercostal approach through the parietal pleura into a subphrenic collection. We conclude that percutaneous drainage is a safe and effective method of treatment of subphrenic abscesses.
