IV USG in our country is very much helpfull, 5 days ago  a case was reffered to me for evaluation whether it is Liver abscess, I scanned & became in a conclusion that it is a large liver abscess yet to be burst & it was neglected by a physician who was treating her by medicine, I drained it by LP neddle, about one litre of thick souces like fluid. Pt was very much toxic, after 5 days with treatment now her condition is very good enough.As a developing country like BD it is very cheap procedure costs only $42.

Dear Fellow, 

Its my routine practice at least 4 cases in a week its very safe and no need to inject methotrexate in to residual cyst.

Last Saturday I aspirated a 11.5x 13.4 cm large simple cyst in a 21 year unmarried girl and it was now enough pain full for her.

She was on different therapies since last about 18 month and now was planing for leparatomy.

Another colleague referred to me, I explained the family the whole scenario and informed about recurrence chances.

Under local anesthesia I put 18 Gauge LP needle from Pubic approach saving iliac vessels and drained almost 350 ml clear fluid at the end about 3.5x 4.0 cm cyst was present but it was difficult to suck more fluid by 50 ml syringe so i left it that may be I ve to do next attempt after few days.

I started antibiotic with anti inflammatory  and asked for follow up scan. Today I scanned her with full bladder there was no cyst at all and even no fluid in cul-de-sac or any abdominopelvic recesses.

Hello all. I appreciate the opportunity to engage with you on this topic.

 

I have a patient with a large ovarian cyst and associated symptoms. Has anyone had experience with percutaneous drainage of simple ovarian cysts? I am also interested in any insight into injecting methotrexate into the residual cyst to prevent recurrence.

 

Thanks!
