Summary

This study tested if draining a tubo-ovarian abscess (a pocket of infection in the female reproductive organs) through a needle guided by ultrasound works as well as keyhole surgery. About 208 women with this condition received antibiotics plus either drainage or laparoscopy. The main goal was to see if the infection was cured after 6 weeks without needing more procedures or antibiotics.
