Ultrasound Versus Fluoroscopy Guided Superior Hypogastric Plexus Block in Cancer Bladder Patients

Brief summary (from the registry)

Pelvic cancer pain is a chronic condition related to the involvement of viscera, pelvic muscular structures or neural structures by tumor. The superior hypogastric plexus block is a sympathetic block used to treat pelvic visceral pain that is unresponsive to oral or parenteral opioids different approaches for superior hypogastric block as transdiscal approach, classic approach, Posteromedial approach, CT guided approach and ultrasound anterior approach The ultrasound-guided superior hypogastric plexus neurolysis technique (anterior approach) is simple to perform. We believe this block can be useful in cancer patients who are having difficulty in lying prone, because it is a procedure performed in the supine position and it is less time-consuming. It also avoids the radiation exposure involved with a computed tomography-guided and fluoroscopy posterior approach.
