Image-Guided Drainage Procedures
About the Procedure
Image-guided drainage is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove infected fluid collections, abscesses, or cysts. Using ultrasound or CT guidance, a small catheter is inserted into the fluid pocket to drain it safely. This procedure relieves pain, reduces infection risk, and often avoids the need for open surgery.
