SUPERIOR HYPOGASTRIC PLEXUS BLOCK FOR PELVIC PAIN: LITERATURE REVIEW

Poster Presenter

Michael Sposito

Part of Topic

Scientific Abstracts > Regional Anesthesia

Pelvic pain is a complex and often debilitating condition that can significantly impact an individual's quality of life. It encompasses a broad spectrum of etiologies, including gynecological, urological, and gastrointestinal disorders, making its management particularly challenging. Traditional treatments, such as medications and physical therapy, may provide partial relief but often fall short of addressing the underlying pain mechanisms or offering long-term solutions. In recent years, peripheral nerve blocks have gained attention as a viable alternative for managing chronic pelvic pain. Among these, the superior hypogastric plexus (SHP) block has emerged as a promising intervention. SHP shows promise in the treatment of pelvic pain, with a focus on its central role in transmitting pain signals from the pelvic region to the central nervous system. By interrupting these signals, the SHP block aims to alleviate pain and improve patient outcomes. The procedure involves the injection of local anesthetics or neurolytic agents into the plexus, which can potentially disrupt nociceptive pathways and provide significant pain relief.
