摘要
Chronic abdominal pain can be associated with benign and malignant disease. Pain associated with pancreatic cancer and chronic pancreatitis can be severely debilitating, with significant impairment in quality of life. Frequently, chronic abdominal pain is not adequately responsive to conventional medical therapies, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and opioids. For this reason, alternative methods to alleviate pain have been developed. Celiac plexus neurolysis and celiac block involve injecting an agent at the celiac axis, with the goal of either selectively destroying the celiac plexus or temporarily blocking visceral afferent nociceptors to alleviate chronic abdominal pain. Agents most commonly used for this purpose include alcohol or phenol for neurolysis and bupivacaine and triamcinolone for temporary block. Methods to administer such agents to the celiac ganglion include CT imaging, percutaneous ultrasound, fluoroscopy, endoscopic ultrasound, or surgery (ganglionectomy). Response rates and complications vary depending on technique but are relatively low. This review highlights the techniques of celiac plexus neurolysis and celiac block and their status in the treatment of chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer pain.
