Abstract
Two patients with pelvic abscesses underwent fluoroscopic guided trans rectal catheter drainage using a simple modification in standard techn ique. A 9F vascular sheath allows contrast to be instilled through the side port and the seal avoids any leakage back through the sheath. It also provides a safe, quick and precise needle puncture at the select ed site.
