Percutaneous celiac plexus blocks, once used for surgical anesthesia, are now effective for chronic abdominal pain management, particularly for cancer-related pain. This review covers their anatomy, techniques, and outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Pain Management
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Percutaneous blockade of the celiac plexus has a century-long history.
  • Initially aimed at surgical anesthesia, its use declined due to technical challenges and variable results.
  • Techniques were superseded by spinal and paravertebral nerve blocks for anesthesia.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the anatomy, indications, contraindications, techniques, and results of celiac plexus blockade.
  • To highlight the shift in clinical utility from surgical anesthesia to pain management.
  • To provide a comprehensive overview of celiac plexus and splanchnic nerve blocks.

Main Methods:

  • Review of relevant anatomical structures for celiac plexus blockade.
  • Analysis of historical and current application techniques for celiac and splanchnic nerve blocks.

  • Evaluation of clinical outcomes and efficacy in pain management.

    • Main Results:

    • Celiac plexus and splanchnic nerve blocks are effective for chronic abdominal pain.
    • These blocks are particularly beneficial for pain originating from upper abdominal malignancies (pancreas, liver, etc.).
    • The paper details the anatomical considerations, procedural variations, and patient outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • Celiac plexus blockade has evolved from a surgical anesthetic to a key intervention in pain management.
    • It offers significant relief for chronic abdominal pain, especially in oncological cases.
    • Understanding the relevant anatomy and techniques is crucial for successful application.
