There are several methods for treatment of @entity5572 . These include drainage by open surgery, laparoscopic surgery, or percutaneous catheterization. In this report a new therapeutic approach is presented. A 47-year-old @entity1 admitted to the hospital had an abscess 12 cm in diameter, originating from the left liver lobe. After the @entity1 's permission was obtained, a laparoscopic trocar was inserted into the abscess with the @entity1 under local anesthesia in the operating room. A 28-French chest tube catheter was introduced through the trocar cannula, and approximately 1,000 mL of pus was drained. There were no complications, and the @entity1 was discharged on the same day. After computed tomography showed an obliterated @entity733 , the drain was removed on postoperative day 7. The pus culture, performed on the day of surgery, was found to be positive for @entity526 , which was responsive to cefaclor. Oral antibiotic therapy was given for 1 month. At follow-up 2 months after surgery, the @entity1 was asymptomatic. This report describes the first case of a @entity5572 drained by a laparoscopic trocar with local anesthesia. This method can be the treatment of choice for some easily accessible liver abscesses.
