Interventional Palliative therapy Tools of the Trade
Plexus Blocks Splanchnic & Sympathetic Somatic Denervation Neuraxial Drug Delivery Nonmalignant Pain
Celiac Plexus Pancreas Liver Biliary System Omentum Mesentery
Needle Placement For Celiac Plexus Block
Classic Transcural Needle Placement
Celiac Plexus Block Transaortic Technique
Hypogastric Plexus Pelvic organs – Bladder – Prostate - Rectum
Advantages Anatomic specific analgesia Relatively Long Lasting Can be repeated Trial Injection can be performed To establish efficacy Studies suggest increased quality Of life even if narcotic use unchanged
Disadvantages Complications of Procedure Discomfort
Hypobaric Technique -absolute alcohol-
Hyperbaric Technique -phenol-
Hyperbaric Intrathecal Neurolysis- Phenol
Advantages Anatomically specific analgesia Precise localization Potential for permanent pain relief Multiple lesioning modalities
Disadvantages Lesioning can be painful Risk of neuroma/neuritis Risk of motor or functional deficit(s) depending on Technique and contiguous structures
Indications Life expectancy > 3 months Systemic pain control with narcotics but side effects intolerable Pain from primary or metastatic bone pain
Anesth Analg. 2011 Mar;112(3):558-67. Epub 2010 Dec 14. The novel role of the mu opioid receptor in lung cancer progression: a laboratory investigation. Opioid Gene Variants Linked To Cancer Survival in Women ISSUE: December 2011Mounting laboratory and epidemiologic data have suggested a link between exposure to opioids during cancer surgery and metastasis of, and eventual death from, the disease. Now, a major genetics study has turned up some of the most compelling evidence yet for a connection between opioids and malignancy, even beyond the operating room. Direct effect of morphine on breast cancer cell function in vitro: role of the NET1 gene
Intrathecal Systems Direct CSF drug delivery Catheter tip occlusion rare Single drug or synergistic therapy Rostral Spread
Epidural Implants Segmental Allows more aggressive use of local anesthetics Reactive scarring at catheter tip Causing pain and occlusion Useful for trial and pain control can allow systemic narcotic withdrawal
Infusion Techniques Narcotics Morphine- hydrophilic Hydromorphone/Fentanyl- lipophilic Local anesthetics Clonidine Prialt Compounding
Interventions have higher success rate early in pain therapy- not as last resort Often useful in combination with narcotic & adjuvant therapy Remember not all pain is malignant pain
