Definition
A procedure that removes fluid from the abdominal cavity (peritoneal space) using a needle or catheter. It's performed to diagnose the cause of fluid buildup or to relieve abdominal pressure and breathing difficulties.
Etymology
From Greek 'para' meaning 'beside' or 'near' and 'kentesis' meaning 'puncture.' The 'para' prefix refers to the procedure being done alongside or near the abdomen.
Kelly Says
Paracentesis can remove enormous amounts of fluid - sometimes 4-6 liters in severe cases of ascites, providing dramatic relief for patients who couldn't breathe or eat comfortably. Ancient physicians described this procedure over 2,000 years ago, making it one of medicine's oldest interventions.
