Abdominal paracentesis, also known as ascetic tap, is a medical procedure used to remove fluid buildup in the abdominal cavity, a condition known as ascites. Ascites can be caused by various medical conditions, such as liver cirrhosis, heart failure, cancer, or kidney disease.

During the procedure, a needle is inserted through the abdominal wall into the peritoneal cavity under sterile conditions. The fluid is then drained and collected for analysis. This analysis helps determine the cause of ascites and guides further treatment.

Abdominal paracentesis can provide symptomatic relief for patients experiencing discomfort or difficulty breathing due to the accumulation of fluid in the abdomen. It may also be performed therapeutically to remove a large volume of fluid rapidly in cases of severe ascites.
