Abstract
Objective. To evaluate the results of comprehensive treatment of liver abscesses using minimally invasive technologies.
Materials and methods. The results of comprehensive treatment of 31 patients with liver abscesses who underwent interventions under navigation in the surgical department of Blagoveshchensk City Clinical Hospital were analyzed. The age of patients ranged from 26 to 73 years, working-age individuals accounted for 23 (74.1%) patients, males predominated – 87.1% (27 persons).
Results. In patients with liver abscesses, signs of severe intoxication were characteristic. Fever with chills was detected in 27 (87.1%), dull constant pain in the right hypochondrium or epigastric region – in 25 (80.6%), decreased appetite, weakness, fatigue – in 23 (71.4%), yellowing of the skin – in 27 (87.1%). The severity of the condition in patients with liver abscesses, as a rule, is due to the development of abdominal sepsis, therefore, treatment of such patients was carried out jointly with intensive care specialists in the intensive care unit.
Conclusion. Comprehensive treatment of liver abscesses using minimally invasive technologies allows achieving better results at lower costs, reducing the number of postoperative complications, as well as reducing the length of hospital stay.
