Endosonography-guided celiaca plexus neurolysis / Arcidiacono, P. G.. - In: GIORNALE ITALIANO DI ENDOSCOPIA DIGESTIVA. - ISSN 0394-0225. - 27:2(2004), pp. 137-141.
abstract:
Celiac plexus neurolysis is an effective technique for the treatment of pancreatic cancer pain and chronic pancreatitis pain. EUS-guide neurolysis (EUS-CPN) is simple to perform and has less side effects than the transabdominal procedure thanks to its endoabdominal approach. Celiac ganglia is easily visualized at EUS: a needle is positioned inside the ganglia and chemical neurolysis is carried out with Bupivacaina and absolute ethanol.
