Draining the paracolic gutters without surgery.

In severe cases necrosis and inflammation can extend caudally toward the retroperitoneal spaces near the paracolic gutters. This drainage occurs in much the same way that the gutters on a house draw the rain off the roof. Overall 104 78 patients underwent successful conservative treatment whereas 30 22 patients underwent surgery during admission. The right lateral paracolic gutter runs along the right side of the cavity of the abdomen.

We measured the drain output daily and noted a marked increase fig. Its origin lies on the right side origin of the right paracolic gutter lies at the ascending portion of the colon at the right hepatic flexure or the point where the ascending colon turns at a right angle to form the transverse colon. During the index admission abscess drainage was performed in 21 patients of which 19 patients were successfully managed without surgery on the index admission and two patients ultimately required surgery. Therefore we instilled 6 ml of 10 nac into the drain in the left paracolic gutter every 3 4 hours.
