ABSTRACT
Postoperative intractable hiccups slow patient recovery and generate multiple adverse effects, highlighting the importance of investigating the pathogenesis and terminating the hiccups in a timely manner. At present, medical and physical therapies account for the main treatments. We encountered a case in which postoperative intractable hiccups after biliary T-tube drainage removal ceased with the application of an ultrasound-guided block of the unilateral phrenic nerve and stellate ganglion. No complications developed, and the therapeutic effect was remarkable. To our knowledge, this approach has not been reported to date. Simultaneously blocking the phrenic nerve and stellate ganglion may be a treatment option for intractable hiccups.
