Drainage: Unless quite small, liver abscesses are usually drained in one of several ways: 1) a need aspiration of the fluid which is sent for culture and the patient is treatment with the appropriate abx to cover the bacteria, 2) catheter drainage where a drainage tube is left in place to help drain a larger collection over time, and 3) surgery when the other two have failed or there is worry of cancer.
