Efficacy of endoscopic ultrasound‐guided abscess drainage for non‐pancreatic abscesses: A retrospective study

Percutaneous drainage of intra‐abdominal abscesses is often uncomfortable for the patient and may result in prolonged hospital stays. Recent studies have shown that endoscopic ultrasound‐guided abscess drainage (EUS‐AD) could effectively treat various abscesses and fluid collections. However, no indications or procedures have been established for EUS‐AD treatments, and studies on its usefulness and safety are insufficient. The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of EUS‐AD for treating non‐pancreatic abscesses.
