Abstract
Three patients are presented with sterile or septic subhepatic fluid collections after biliary tract surgery. In each patient, the common clinical presentation was fever and ultrasound was primarily responsible for demonstrating its source. In one patient, percutaneous aspiration of the abscess under ultrasonic guidance obviated the need for any further treatment. We conclude.that ultrasound is an effective method for investigating suspected fluid collections after biliary tract surgery. Aspiration of the lesion under ultrasonic guidance is a safe means for confirmation of the diagnosis and may be therapeutic as well.
