Abstract
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. Transgluteal catheters are well tolerated by children, and the transgluteal route is an effective approach to selected pelvic abscesses in children.
