Abdominocentesis, also known as paracentesis, is a procedure to remove fluid from the abdominal cavity for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. It involves inserting a needle through the abdominal wall into the peritoneal space to collect fluid for analysis, which can help diagnose conditions such as ascites, infections, or malignancies. It is generally considered safe but may carry risks such as bleeding, infection, or damage to organs.
