Retroperitoneal abscesses are complicated serious surgical infections marked by an insidious, occult process leading to considerable mortality and morbidity. Knowledge of the anatomy of the retroperitoneal spaces as well as an increased awareness of the symptoms, physical findings, and causes of these abscesses are the keys to prompt and efficient therapy. Recently percutaneous guided catheter drainage has changed the traditional surgical therapeutic approach to this disease in the majority of cases. We report a case of postoperative complicated bilateral retroperitoneal abscess successfully treated with percutaneous guided catheter drainage combined with medical control.
