Chemical Neurolysis of the Inferior Hypogastric Plexus for the Treatment of Cancer-Related Pelvic and Perineal Pain

Chemical Neurolysis of the Inferior Hypogastric Plexus for the Treatment of Cancer-Related Pelvic and Perineal Pain

BACKGROUND: Various interventions, including the superior hypogastric plexus block and ganglion impar block, are commonly used for the treatment of pelvic or perineal pain caused by cancer. The inferior hypogastric plexus block (performed using a trans-sacral approach under fluoroscopy and using a l...
