Drainage of fluid from the peritoneal cavity by means of a large needle inserted through the abdominal wall.<\/p>\n
The procedure of draining fluid from a cavity inside the body using a hollow needle, either for diagnostic purposes or because the fluid is harmful.<\/p>\n
Procedure in which fluid is with-drawn from a body cavity, most often the abdomen, through a hollow needle; it is performed for therapeutic (e.g., to remove excess fluid from the abdomen) or diagnostic (e.g., to obtain a sample for analysis) purposes.<\/p>\n
The puncture and withdrawal of fluid from the abdominal cavity, usually to remove excessive fluid accumulated as a result of a disease process.<\/p>\n
Also known as an abdominal tap; a procedure in which fluid is removed from the abdominal cavity with a needle inserted through the abdominal wall. The abdominal cavity normally contains little fluid but excess fluid can be present in people with conditions such as chronic liver disease or neoplasms (abnormal growths) in the abdomen. Paracentesis is performed to remove a sample of fluid to determine why it is present or to help relieve symptoms when a large accumulation of fluid causes discomfort or affects a person’s breathing.<\/p>\n
The process of drawing off excess fluid from a part of the body through a hollow needle or cannula.<\/p>\n
The puncture by hollow needle or trocar and cannula of any body cavity (e.g. abdominal, pleural, pericardial), for tapping or aspirating fluid.<\/p>\n
The puncture of a cavity with removal of fluid, as in pleural effusion or ascites. In common parlance, \u201cparacentesis\u201d refers to aspiration of fluid from within the peritoneum.<\/p>\n
A medical technique involving the extraction of fluid from a body cavity using a catheter inserted through a surgical incision in the skin.<\/p>\n
A technique involving the use of a needle to pierce a body cavity, either to extract fluid for testing, alleviate pressure from an accumulation of fluid, or introduce medications.<\/p>\n
A surgical procedure to pierce a cavity, typically done to extract fluid.<\/p>\n
