Superior hypogastric plexus block
What is a superior hypogastric block?
A superior hypogastric block is an injection of local anesthetic and steroid around the sympathetic nerves which supply the organs of the pelvis.
These nerves are located on either side of the spine in the lower abdomen. After successful diagnostic injection RF ablation or alcohol neurolysis can be performed to provide long lasting pain relief.
