Needle or surgery? study tests gentler option for painful pelvic infection

NCT ID NCT03819309

Summary

This study tested if a less invasive procedure works as well as surgery for treating a tubo-ovarian abscess, a painful pelvic infection. Researchers compared ultrasound-guided needle drainage through the vagina to laparoscopic surgery. Both procedures were done along with antibiotic treatment in 208 hospitalized women to see which was better at curing the infection with fewer complications.
