Abstract
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided pelvic abscess drainage (EUS-PAD) has emerged as a viable alternative to percutaneous drainage (PCD). However, reports of this method are limited to procedures associated with transrectal access. We herein present the first case of successful transvaginal EUS-PAD in a 22-year-old female who developed a pelvic abscess after undergoing a cesarean section. An ultrasound endoscope was inserted transvaginally to visualize the abscess. Puncture and dilation were performed and a 7 Fr endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD) tube was put in place. The patient showed a rapid improvement after the procedure and was discharged without any complications. This case report highlights the efficacy and safety of transvaginal EUS-PAD as a viable option for performing pelvic abscess drainage.
