ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background
Pelvic abscess is a serious pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). It can be caused by a variety of factors, including surgery (e.g., low anterior resection), pelvic visceral perforation, diverticulitis, appendicitis, ischaemic colitis, inflammatory bowel disease, or PID.
Research motivation
Different durations of anti-infective therapy have different effects on patients' psychological state, the difficulty of laparoscopic surgery and surgical efficacy.
Research objectives
The aim of this study was to determine the optimal duration of preoperative anti-infective therapy in patients with pelvic abscesses.
Research methods
This study retrospectively analysed the differences in preoperative psychological stress, intraoperative operation difficulty and postoperative recovery of patients with pelvic abscesses after different durations of anti-infection treatment.
Research results
Among the 100 patients with pelvic abscesses, the patients who received 24-48 h of anti-infection treatment had less preoperative psychological stress, less intraoperative operation difficulty and better postoperative recovery than those who received 48-96 h of anti-infection treatment.
Research conclusions
Through observation, we put forward the theory that 24-48 h of anti-infection treatment is better than 48-96 h of anti-infection treatment for patients with pelvic abscesses undergoing laparoscopic surgery.
Research perspectives
The different effects of anti-infection treatment on patients’ preoperative psychological stress and the difficulty and efficacy of laparoscopic surgery in patients with pelvic abscesses were observed.
