Inferior hypogastric plexus block affects sacral nerves and the superior hypogastric plexus (2012)
|
Transsacral fluoroscopic technique |
Looked at five cadaveric studies to see distribution of methylene blue dye spread (blockage distribution) via transsacral approach. |
Analgesia can be achieved through a transsacral fluoroscopic technique for inferior or superior hypogastric plexus blockades. Altogether, the sympathetic inferior hypogastric nerve blockage is safe and effective for modulation of pelvic visceral pain. |
Inferior hypogastric plexus blockade: A transsacral approach (2007)
|
Transsacral fluoroscopic technique |
The technique for inferior hypogastric plexus block via sacral foramen is described with 15 blocks per 11 patients. |
With proper understanding of sacral anatomy, expert needle steering techniques, and fluoroscopy expertise, this block can be performed safely and effectively. |

Transsacral fluoroscopic technique |
Review of the two main approaches: Transsacral and coccygeal. |
Despite the possibility of rectal puncture, the newer coccygeal approach has less disadvantages. |
A new technique for inferior hypogastric plexus block: A coccygeal transverse approach-a case report- (2012)
|
Coccygeal transverse approach |
Presentation of a case report where coccygeal transverse approach was performed. |
The new coccygeal transverse approach allows for easier inferior hypogastric plexus access and can be used for diagnosis and treatment of lower pelvic viscera. |
