[Ultrasound guided percutaneous drainage of splenic abscesses]. / Drenaje percutáneo de abscesos esplénicos guiado por ecografía.

We present our experience of ultrasound-guided percutaneous drainage with a catheter in 5 splenic abscesses. All the cases were resolved and there was only one relevant complication. The advantages of this treatment compared with surgery and isolated medical treatment are discussed and this technique is proposed as the treatment of choice.
