Diverticular abscess, pelvic and other intra-abdominal abscesses

Intra-abdominal abscesses are a common surgical problem, occurring primarily in association with a variety of perforating or suppurative intra-abdominal visceral diseases or secondary to postoperative complications, including anastomotic dehiscence. Early diagnosis and recognition of associated pathology, based on clinical assessment and appropriate investigation, including accurate cross-sectional imaging and interpretation, are essential for the planning of treatment and eradication of sepsis.
