Özet
Abdominal paracentesis is a generally safe intervention that is performed for diagnostic and therapeutic reasons in patients with hepatic disease and accompanying ascites. Although abdominal wall hematomas occurring in needle puncture site is seen at less than 2%, severe bleeding requiring transfusion develops in less than 1% of patients. Complication rate is less than 1% in interventions performed at subinguinal median line. Bleeding complication may be less frequent because linea alba found at this site is avascular.
