Abstract
Use of percutaneous drainage of abdominal abscesses has steadily increased, whereas use of open surgical drainage has declined. The vast majority of these abscesses are now treated percutaneously. Radiologists are a strong majority of those performing the procedures. Although this database does not provide information on outcomes, percutaneous drainage is another good example of radiology-related value.
