Abdominal abscess - pre and post percutaneous drainage

Discussion:

An intra-abdominal abscess is a rare complication of a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy occurring at a rate of 0.7% 1.

It is managed by percutaneous drainage or surgical drainage depending on the characteristics of the abscess.

The patient described immediate relief upon drainage. A JP bulb was left in place to finish draining the abscess. She is doing well on follow-up.
