The Efficacy of Superior Hypogastric Blockade for Postoperative Pain
In Brief
An observational study evaluating superior hypogastric block for Superior Hypogastric Plexus Block and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 78 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The primary indication for superior hypogastric (SHP) block is visceral pelvic pain, most commonly from malignancy of the ovary, uterus, cervix, bladder, rectum or prostate. Percutaneous SHP blocks should be done under guidance of ultrasonography, fluoroscopy, magnetic resonance or computed tomography. Because of the close proximity of SHP to major vessels, and structures like vertebral column (for posterior) and guts (for anterior) are being on the way of the needle, these percutaneous blocks are associated with serious complications. Performing SHP during hysterectomy surgery, gives advantages to rule out these complications by exploring the whole intraabdominal anatomy. The investigators' theory is to find out if SHP blocks (during pelvic surgery) are useful for decreasing VAS pain scores and opioid consumption for postoperative pain.
