PIP: The experience of 15 women with acute pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) suggests that ultrasonographically guided transvaginal aspiration of pyosalpinges and tuboovarian abscesses is a simple, safe, and effective treatment that can avert the need for laparoscopy or laparotomy. The mean age of these women was 28.5 years (range, 23-37 years). Twelve women had a prior history of PID. In seven women, vaginal ultrasonography detected inflammatory cystic swelling that was not evident from clinical examination. The mean diameter of the pelvic cystic masses was 67.3 mm (range, 40-90 mm). Aspiration of the abscess cavity was performed by suction. Only one patient required anesthesia. The antibiotic cefotaxime was injected directly into the abscess cavity. The procedure took a maximum of 15 minutes. An average of 57.7 ml of fluid was aspirated and Escherichia coli was identified in 12 patients. There was a marked decrease in leukocyte count and C-reactive protein after 3-7 days. Six patients left the hospital the day of the procedure; the remaining nine were hospitalized for 1-3 days. Systemic antibiotics were provided for use in the recovery period. All patients were symptom free at the six-month follow-up, although pelvic cystic swelling was observed in six women.
