Superior Hypogastric Plexus Block for Malignancy Related Pelvic Pain - Retrospective Study in Tertiary Cancer Hospital
Abstract: Objective: Superior hypogastric plexus block (SHPB) is performed to provide pain relief caused by cancers related to pelvic organ. In this study we evaluate the efficacy of fluoroscopic guided SHPB by measuring pain relief and reduction in total morphine consumption. Method: This is a retrospective, observational study with study group consisting of 42 patients suffering from severe pain caused by pelvic cancers who underwent neurolytic superior hypogastric plexus block. We compared pain scores and morphine consumption before procedure and after procedure. We also assessed pain free period and adverse effects post procedure. Results: There was significant reduction in pain scores post procedure (2.5?0.77) when compared to pre procedure pain scores (7.86?0.61) (p =
