Intrathecal Phenol Saddle Block in Bladder Cancer Patients: Two case reports / 대한마취과학회지

ABSTRACT

We encountered two bladder cancer patients who suffered from perineal pain that was intractable despite the use of adjuvant medication. A phenol intrathecal (saddle) block was performed without any specific complications. The results were excellent and allowed the systemic opiate dose to be reduced by more than 80%. We report our clinical experience, including a brief review of the relevant literature.
