Abstract:
Neurolytic celiac plexus block (NCPB) is commonly performed to relieve pancreatic cancer pain. Since Kappis described the percutaneous NCPB, a number of variations of this technique have been proposed to improve analgesic results and minimize complications. In this article, we review and discuss techniques, results, and complications of NCPB.
