Abstract
Patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer often suffer severe pain. Various techniques are available for pain control. We present a patient with pancreatic cancer who underwent unilateral video-assisted thoracoscopic sympathectomy-splanchnicectomy and had complete pain relief. This minimally invasive procedure offers promise in carefully selected patients with severe pain from pancreatic cancer and other conditions which are not amenable to conventional interventions.Entities:
