Thoracic splanchnicectomy, a minimally invasive surgery, effectively manages severe pancreatic cancer pain and chronic pancreatitis. This procedure offers longer-lasting pain relief compared to injections or radiotherapy.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical oncology
  • Pain management
  • Gastroenterology

Context:

  • Pancreatic cancer and chronic pancreatitis can cause debilitating pain.
  • Current pain management options have limitations.

Purpose:

  • To report a technique for thoracic splanchnicectomy under video thoracoscopic control.
  • To evaluate its efficacy for managing pancreatic cancer and chronic pancreatitis pain.

Summary:

  • Video-assisted thoracic splanchnicectomy is a simple, minimally invasive surgical technique.
  • It is indicated for severe pancreatic cancer pain and certain chronic pancreatitis cases.
  • The procedure involves accessing and ablating the splanchnic nerves via thoracoscopy.

Impact:
