Key Words	Pelvic abscess; Endoscopic ultrasound -guided drainage
Core Tip	For pelvic abscesses that are not amenable to percutaneous drainage, EUS-guided drainage affords a safe and efficient alternative method. The procedure was performed in eight patients under conscious sedation and without a radiological monitoring. One or two plastic stents (7 Fr) were placed after dilatation of the tract with a balloon in four patients. Revising this technique by using a cystotome in other four patients appeared feasible and without adverse events. Abscess resolution was documented by imaging examination in all patients. This outcome was not affected although spontaneous stent dislodgment or migration occurred in the majority of patients.
