Abstract
We will summarize briefly the outstanding points of our study. Subphrenic abscess
is a complication that can occur after any abdominal operation or any inflammatory
process in the abdomen. It too frequently is not recognized until serious thoracic
complications have developed. Thoracic complications which are late complications
of subphrenic abscess are responsible for the high mortality rate of subphrenic abscesses.
Early recognition and treatment of subphrenic abscess will prevent thoracic complications.
The extraserous approach to subphrenic abscesses is the safest and most effective
means of treating subphrenic abscess.
