Objective: The transgluteal approach to abscess drainage through the greater sciatic foramen has been described in adults, but this route has not been as extensively studied in children. We performed CT-guided transgluteal percutaneous abscess drainage in seven children and assessed the results of drainage and catheter tolerance.
Conclusion: Transgluteal catheters are well tolerated by children, and the transgluteal route is an effective approach to selected pelvic abscesses in children.
