Gastroenterologist

Ascites puncture involves inserting a needle into the peritoneal cavity to remove or evacuate ascites which is a pathological fluid that most often occurs during hepatic decompensation in a patient with cirrhosis of the liver.
The ascites puncture is currently the reference examination to diagnose the etiology of ascites, to look for an infection of the ascitic fluid, to verify the effectiveness of an antibacterial treatment and especially to relieve the patient by the evacuation of the liquid which puts tension on the abdomen.
