Abstract: Ganglion Impar Block GIB, also known as Walters block, offers a promising solution for managing malignancy - related pelvic - perineal pain. This retrospective study assessed the effectiveness of GIB in 42 patients suffering from cancer - related pelvic and perineal pain, using pre - and post - procedure numerical rating scales. The results demonstrated a substantial reduction in pain scores from 7.8 0.60 to 2.5 0.77, p < 0.05 post - procedure, affirming the efficacy of GIB in alleviating pain associated with pelvic and perineal malignancies.
