There are two common methods for incision and drainage of hepatic abscess. One is transabdominal incision and drainage, which can avoid contamination of the abdominal cavity. It is only suitable for isolated abscess or liver abscess and adhesion to the abdominal cavity near the liver surface. Incision restriction is revealed, and other abscesses or intra-abdominal infection sources in the liver are easily missed and are currently used less. The other is transabdominal abscess incision and drainage. Since the clinical application of antibiotics, this method has replaced the extraperitoneal route. Usually under the costal margin or median incision into the abdomen and drainage of liver abscess, can simultaneously treat other lesions in the liver and intra-abdominal infection.
