An ascitic tap is a medical procedure where a needle is used to drain fluid that is trapped in an internal body cavity, most commonly the abdomen (belly). Abdominal tap, or paracentesis, is a procedure to remove excess fluid from the abdominal cavity, which is the area between the abdominal wall and the spine. Excess fluid in the abdomen is called ascites.
