What is the medical term meaning surgical puncture of the abdomen to remove excess fluid?
There are two terms that are puncturing of the abdominal cavity to remove fluid, paracentesis and abdominocentesis. Of these, paracentesis is more commonly used. It can be used to remove excess fluid from the abdomen. This excess fluid is called ascites. Performed usually with ultrasound and local anaesthetic, and often the fluid drained off is sent to a laboratory for testing. There are also specialized terms used if you are talking about draining specific areas, such as culdocentesis. Celiocentesis is the term used in veterinary medicine for this procedure. Abdominocentesis Paracentesis (para = beside + centesis = puncture) is also known as peritoneocentesis and laparocentesis. The abdominal wall is punctured and fluid is removed. It is used to relieve the pressure of ascites, to diagnose infections or cancer, and to confirm free blood in the abdominal cavity. Abdominocentesis (abdomin = belly + centesis = puncture) is also known as paracentesis, peritoneocentesis and laparocentesis. The abdominal wall (peritoneal cavity) is punctured by a needle and peritoneal fluid is withdrawn. This can be used to relieve abdominal pressure from ascites, diagnose infectious agents, cancer or free blood in the peritoneal space.
