Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Two years after the French guidelines, the objective was to assess the feasibility and efficiency of ultrasound-guided trans-vaginal drainage of tubo-ovarian abscesses (TOA) and to study the responsible germs. MATERIAL AND METHODS: All the patients with a larger abscess than 20mm were included prospectively from May 2011 to July 2014 in the university hospital of Lille. RESULTS: Sixty-nine drainages were performed among 50 patients. Success rate was 94%. No complication occurred. One germ was found in 55% of patients, the TOA was polymicrobian in 20% of cases. CONCLUSION: Ultrasound-guided trans-vaginal drainage of TOA is safe and effective with more than 90% of success rate.
