Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Laparoscopic Liver abscess drainage   Under G.A., pneumoperitoneum will be created • Under direct visualization, abscess will be deroofed and drained completely, with placement of intra-abdominal drain • Other structures will be visualized for any other findings, such as patchy caecal necrosis or intra-abdominal collections. • Drain output monitoring will be done. 
Comparator Agent  USG guided Pigtail catheter drain Placement  Patient laid supine, parts cleaned and draped. • Site is marked using USG guidance. • USG guided pigtail catheter inserted under local anesthesia and fixed to skin. • Drain output monitoring will be done

Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Response - NO
Brief Summary  
  1. Written and informed consent will be taken from the individual for participating in the study. All patients with liver abscess coming to Surgery OPD or emergency will be evaluated as per management of liver abscess. Ultrasound will be done in emergency; Routine investigations will be sent. All patients will receive medical therapy of double antibiotics as per recommendation. All patients fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criterion will be allotted a computer generated random number which will be allocated by sealed envelope technique, all odd numbers will belong to Group-A and even numbers will belong to Group-B. Group-A (n=10)- Laparoscopic drainage with drain placement Group-B (n=10)- Percutaneous pigtail catheter drainage. PAC clearance will be obtained for patients planned for Laparoscopic drainage (Group-A) under G.A and advice will be followed. Drainage of abscess with either of the procedure will be performed within 48 hours of admission. Complications of the two procedures will be evaluated and treated accordingly. Criterion for drain removal will be applied, based on amount, character, clinical outcomes. Drain out Time will be noted (days for which drain will be placed) Duration of hospital stay will be studied from the time of admission to the time of discharge. Patient will be discharged who meet the discharge criterion - afebrile for at least 24 hours, orally accepting, free of drains and normal coagulation profile. Data will be entered in a proforma and analyzed for any statistical difference between duration of hospital stay and drain out time in patients undergoing either of the 2 procedures.
