The Optimal Approach for a Superior Hypogastric Plexus Block

Pain Practice, 2017
AbstractIntroductionSuperior hypogastric plexus block (SHGPB) is technically difficult, and an accurate procedure is required to avoid potential complications. We attempted to determine the reference angles for fluoroscopy‐assisted SHGPB and to establish a predictor as a guide to select the optimal approach between the classic posterior approach and ...

CT-Guided Superior Hypogastric Plexus Block

Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography, 2002
This study reports our experience with CT-guided block in the superior hypogastric plexus, using a single needle and anterior approach, in patients with pelvic cancer.Ten patients with pelvic malignancy underwent CT-guided hypogastric neurolytic block with alcohol via an anterior approach.

Superior hypogastric plexus block and ganglion impar (Walther)

Techniques in Regional Anesthesia and Pain Management, 2005
The superior hypogastric plexus is formed by pelvis visceral afferents and efferent sympathetic nerves from branches of the aortic plexus, and fibers from the splanchnic nerves. Pelvic viscera innervated by the superior hypogastric plexus include the bladder, uterus, vagina, prostate, testes, urethra, descending colon, and rectum.

Coaxial imaging technique for superior hypogastric plexus block

Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, 2000
Previously described techniques for superior hypogastric plexus (SHP) block are technically difficult. A simple coaxial imaging technique for SHP block is described.Fluoroscopic guidance for coaxial approach to SHP block is described. A successful block is easily achieved.A new approach to SHP block is described, which is technically effective.

Superior Hypogastric Plexus and Ganglion Impar Block

2015
The superior hypogastric plexus (alternatively referred to as plexus hypogastricus and presacral nerve) constitutes the most caudal of the great plexuses of the sympathetic nervous system (Fig. 57.1). The superior hypogastric plexus represents the pelvic extension of the abdominal sympathetic nervous system.

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 ...

Computed Tomography-Guided Bilateral Transdiscal Superior Hypogastric Plexus Neurolysis [PDF]

Pain Medicine, 2008
This report describes a case of computed tomography (CT)-guided bilateral posteromedian transdiscal approach to the superior hypogastric plexus with neurolysis for treatment of intractable abdominal pain secondary to metastatic prostate cancer. The case is considered in relation to other approaches described in the literature.Case presentation and ...

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.

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.

Case report: Tenesmus and the role of superior hypogastric plexus blocks

Palliative Medicine, 2018
Background: Tenesmus is the unpleasant sensation of incomplete emptying of the rectum and it may be a distressing symptom for patients who suffer from rectal masses. Unlike nociceptive pain or visceral pain, little is understood about the pathway for this pain phenotype.
