EUS-guided celiac plexus neurolysis and celiac plexus block.
Pancreatic cancer and chronic pancreatitis commonly produce pain that is difficult to control.1,2 Initial therapy with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs) is often inadequate and necessitates opioid administration. Although opioids effectively relieve pain, they are associated with dry mouth, constipation, nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, delirium, and may impair immune function.3,4 In ...
متن کاملComputed tomography celiac trunk topography relating to celiac plexus block.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The celiac plexus is a dense autonomic network surrounding the celiac trunk. To block this plexus, the celiac trunk is a landmark for needle placement. Needles inserted at a distance from the midline, "walking off" the vertebra, may penetrate surrounding organs. We reviewed 200 computed tomography images to investigate the celiac trunk topography relating to the block....
متن کاملPercutaneous neurolytic celiac plexus block.
Percutaneous neurolytic celiac plexus block (PNCPB) is an excellent treatment option for patients with intractable abdominal pain due to upper abdominal malignancies or chronic pancreatitis. In these patients, chronic refractory pain significantly decreases quality of life and often requires high doses of narcotics, which can lead to serious adverse side effects. PNCPB has been shown to have lo...
متن کاملCeliac plexus block in a patient with upper abdominal pain caused by diabetic gastroparesis
provided the original work is properly cited. CC Diabetic gastroparesis is characterized by delayed gastric emptying, which stems from long-standing diabetic neuromyopathy. The symptoms of gastroparesis include early satiety, nausea, vomiting, postprandial fullness and upper abdominal pain [1]. Here, we present the case of a patient with a 20-year history of diabetes mellitus and a 2-year histo...
متن کاملRobotic Ureteroureterostomy for Treatment of a Proximal Ureteric Stricture
Ureteral reconstruction can be challenging when done open or in a minimally-invasive manner. Ureteral reconstruction is a perfect use of the surgical robot. Here Andrade et al. (1) present a well-made and illustrative video that demonstrates the steps needed to complete a technically sound, minimally-invasive proximal ureteral repair. This will add to the body of literature and video instructio...
