Amoebic liver abscess is one of the commonest infective lesions of liver in the developing world. The complications of amoebic liver abscess need to be diagnosed at an early stage. Closed aspiration, percutaneous and surgical drainage are the three therapeutic options for complicated lesions. A proper choice of the procedure is pivotal in reducing the morbidity and preventing mortality in complicated cases of amoebic liver abscess. The natural history of surgical complications and the various therapeutic options are discussed in this paper
