Abstract

Three hundred and eighty-nine cases of splanchnic nerve block were retrospectively divided into 3 groups according to the change of alcohol concentration. In Group 1 (26 cases), about 7 ml of 1% lidocaine was used bilaterally as test block followed by an injection of 20 ml of 50% alcohol bilaterally. In Group 2 (286 cases) the same test block was followed by the same amount of pure and 50% alcohol. In Group 3 (77 cases) and used 30 ml of 75% alcohol bilaterally. The overall success rate of the first alcohol block in group 1, 2 and 3 was 73.1%, 92.0% and 84.4% respectively. From the above results, that splanchnic nerve block by pure alcohol was the most reliable method for upper abdominal cancer patients.
