We present the case of a subscapular abscess that was drained via a posterolateral approach to the scapula. Complete evacuation of the abscess was achieved, and the incisions healed without difficulty. There were no immediate postoperative complications from this approach.
To our knowledge, a posterolateral approach for evacuating a subscapular abscess has not been described previously in the literature. Utilizing the internervous plane between the teres major and latissimus dorsi muscles, along with medial counterincisions, allows for safe drainage of this rare type of abscess.
我们报告一例通过肩胛骨后外侧入路引流的肩胛下脓肿病例。脓肿得以完全清除,切口顺利愈合。该入路术后未出现即刻并发症。
据我们所知,文献中此前未描述过通过后外侧入路引流肩胛下脓肿。利用大圆肌和背阔肌之间的神经间隙平面,并辅以内侧对口引流切口,可安全引流这种罕见类型的脓肿。
