EFFECTIVENESS OF OPTIMIZED DOSE OF OZONE SOLUTION IN MINIMALLY INVASIVE TREATMENT OF LIVER ABSCESSES

Authors:

Abstract:

The causes of liver abscesses include pathogenic bacteria, viruses, parasites (echinococcus), late, severe liver surgeries, relaparotomy, toxic products of industrial waste metabolism, trauma, toxic drugs, etc. The study examined the treatment outcomes of 140 patients who underwent minimally invasive surgical treatment for liver abscess between 2015 and 2025. Of these, 86 were women (61.4 %) and 54 were men (38.6 %). Liver abscesses were detected in the right lobe of 108 patients (77.1 %) and in the left lobe of 32 patients (22.9 %). With the minimally invasive methods we propose, catheterization is a more effective method. Continuous use of a drainage catheter is considered a safe and effective method. Since topical application and intravenous administration of an optimized dose of ozone solution for 5–7–10 days is a simple, easy, cost-effective, and efficient method, the percentage of patients recovered increased by 1.3–1.6 times, the incidence of complications decreased by 1.1–1.5 times, mortality decreased by 1.4–1.8 times, and the number of hospital days and financial costs were reduced.
