CT-Guided Coeliac Plexus Neurolysis in Patients with Intra-Abdominal Malignancy: A Retrospective Evaluation of 52 Palliative In-Patients.

In patients with intra-abdominal malignancy-related abdominal pain, CT-guided coeliac plexus neurolysis is a safe and effective procedure. It can provide long-lasting significant relief of background pain and breakthrough cancer pain. As part of a multimodal approach, coeliac plexus neurolysis should be considered as an earlier option for pain management in patients with intractable abdominal cancer pain.
