Core Tip

Core Tip: A pelvic abscess is a typical manifestation of pelvic inflammatory disease that can endanger the patient's life in severe cases. Here, we analysed the data of 100 patients with pelvic abscesses and divided them into Group S (anti-infective treatment for 24-48 h) and Group L (anti-infective treatment for 48-96 h) according to different durations of anti-infection. Through statistical analysis of the data of the two groups of patients, the authors researched the effects of different durations of preoperative anti-infective therapy on the psychological stress of patients and the postoperative effects of laparoscopic surgery in China to select the optimal duration of anti-infective therapy.
