Laparoscopic Fenestration for Abscess Following <scp>SpaceOAR</scp> Placement—Case Report
This is the first known reported case of laparoscopic abscess fenestration for a SpaceOAR-related abscess and the findings highlight the need to include abscess formation as a differential diagnosis even after more than 2 months following placement. Furthermore, this case indicates laparoscopic fenestration as a viable treatment option for a rectal spacer-related abscess unresponsive to antibiotics or percutaneous drainage.
