Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
Dear Ms
It's quite common to see residual abscess especially in Pelvis following ruptured appendix.
I assume the site the abscess is likely to be Pelvis in location near the ureter.
Management of such abscess depends on clinical condition of patient.
Following are the indication for intervention
1. Persistent fever
2. The quantity of abscess is large
3. Persistent pain in abdomen
Ultrasound guided pigtailing is the preferred modality of approach.
Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you .
Take care
