About the offer

Puncture aspiration, followed by the introduction of antibiotics, is considered the primary treatment method for deep brain abscesses or abscesses of functionally significant areas. Multiple abscesses may also be indications for this procedure. If the time for drug therapy is missed or there is no improvement, surgical intervention is necessary. The body usually cannot cope with the disease, even with strong antibiotics. The complexity of such neurosurgical operations depends on the location of the abscess. In stereotactic aspiration, a special syringe with a hollow needle is inserted into the infectious focus. Doctors suck out the purulent contents and then rinse the cavity with antiseptics or antibacterial drugs. As a rule, the intervention is performed under local anesthesia. All movements are monitored using CT, and the image is displayed on the monitor screen in real-time. Therefore, the risks of damage to adjacent healthy brain tissues are minimized. This procedure is one of the more gentle in this pathology, but there is still a high risk of relapse. In some cases, removing all the pus from the first time is impossible, and aspiration must be repeated afterward.
