Abstract

Block of superior hypogastric plexus has been advocated as a useful technique in the palliation of various of pelvic pain syndromes. This technique has been performed under fluroscopic or CT guidance using bilateral placement of needles. We performed a modification of transdiscal approach with the patient in oblique position permitting successful superior hypogastric plexus block using a single needle placed under fluoroscopic guidance. Our experience suggest transdiscal approach performed in oblique position allows easier, safer, and more accurate needle placement for superior hypogastric plexus block.
