Laparoscopic Drainage of Iliopsoas Abscess

Abstract

Introduction: Iliopsoas abscess is a rare condition that carries a risk of mortality when not treated appropriately. There is a paucity of high-level evidence concerning the management of this abscess and very sparse data is available in the literature regarding treatment options. This article discusses the treatments for iliopsoas abscess and reports a case effectively drained laparoscopically through an extraperitoneal approach.
