Superior Hypogastric Plexus Block for Pelvic Cancer Pain

Anesthesiology, 1990
Blockade of the superior hypogastric nerve plexus was performed for relief of chronic cancer related pelvic pain. The targeted sympathetic nerves lie anterior to the sacral promontory. Twenty-eight patients with neoplastic involvement of pelvic viscera secondary to cervical, prostate, and testicular cancer or radiation injury were treated with ...

The inferior hypogastric plexus (pelvic plexus): its importance in neural preservation techniques

Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2003
The progress in the surgery of male neurological cancers relies on the anatomico-surgical approach to the pelvic neural structures. The objective of our study was to provide a better understanding of the inferior hypogastric plexus (IHP) and its anatomical relationships in order to spare it during radical prostatectomy.

Superior Hypogastric Plexus Nerves

Abstract The superior hypogastric plexus block (SHP) is performed for pain originating from pelvic organs, mostly from malignant sources. It can also be performed in patients in whom treatment is completed but radiation, scar tissue, or other treatment-related side effects have resulted in pain in the pelvis.

Hypogastric Plexus Block and Neurolysis

2016
The treatment of lower abdominal and pelvic visceral pain can be challenging for the pain management practitioner. Prior to 1990, treatment consisted of medication and sometimes highly invasive neurosurgical procedures. Plancarte and colleagues first reported the successful treatment of malignant pelvic pain in 1990 with blockade of the superior ...

Celiac Plexus Block and Superior Hypogastric Plexus Block

2019
Blockade of the celiac and superior hypogastric plexus is the mainstay of treatment for intractable pain of the abdominal and pelvic structures. These structures are accessible percutaneously using image guidance. Abdominal malignancies, both primary and due to metastasis, remain the most common indication.

Superior Hypogastric Sympathetic Plexus

1983
The preaortic sympathetic plexus is a continuation of the thoracolumbar sympathetic chain extending down anterior to the aorta and vertebral bodies in the retroperitoneal space (Fig. 36.1). The inferior hypogastric plexus is at approximately the L3–L4 level and the superior hypogastric plexus at L4–S1.

Hypogastric Plexus Stimulators for Obtaining Semen from Paraplegic Men

British Journal of Urology, 1989
Summary— Radio‐linked devices to stimulate the hypogastric plexus have been implanted into 7 patients with spinal injuries and 1 with primary anorgasmia. They caused seminal emission in all patients and still do so in the spinal injury patients.
