Severe pancreatitis can induce a peripancreatic abscess, and drainage of the abscess is the primary treatment applied to this condition. However, drainage tubes are often obstructed by viscous pus and tissue residue. Failure to treat a pancreatic abscess can lead to complications such as sepsis and organ failure, ultimately resulting in death. To improve drainage quality and solve drainage tube obstructions, we used suction tubes connected to a suction bottle during patient treatments. We found that this assembly not only demonstrated excellent drainage performance for severe peripancreatic abscesses, but was also cost efficient.
