ABSTRACT
Pelvic abscesses are not always amenable to percutaneous drainage. Transrectal drainage of pouch of Douglas abscesses, performed blindly by surgeons for many years, is not familiar to radiologists. The purpose of this article is to describe our technique for the drainage of pouch of Douglas abscesses under suprapubic US guidance and report our results in a series of 7 pediatric patients with deep pelvic abscess not amenable to percutaneous drainage after failure of antibiotics. The procedure was performed under general anesthesia. All procedures were successful and without complication. The drainage catheter was well tolerated in all cases with short post-drainage hospital stay. After failure of medical management, this technique can be used irrespective of patient age or sex using US transducers and drainage catheters routiney available in any radiology department.
