Video Summary
In this ASG sponsored video, Pradeep Perera discusses celiac plexus neurolysis, a procedure used to provide permanent pain relief for patients with severe abdominal pain due to malignancy. He explains the indications and contraindications for the procedure, as well as the techniques involved in both unilateral and bilateral injections. Perera also emphasizes the importance of flushing the needle after injecting the neurolytic agent to prevent leakage and subsequent spinal nerve injury. The procedure may cause post-procedural hypotension and transient hypertension, and patients may experience abdominal pain and diarrhea afterward. Overall, celiac plexus neurolysis is recommended for patients who cannot tolerate opioids or have maximized their opioid use.
