Abstract

EUS-guided celiac ganglia neurolysis (EUS-CGN) is a modified technique of EUS-guided celiac plexus neurolysis (EUS-CPN). In this technique, the celiac ganglia (CG) are punctured and a neurolytic agent is directly injected into them, whereas the agent is injected at the base (the central technique) or on both sides (the bilateral technique) of the celiac axis in EUS-CPN. EUS-CPN and EUS-CGN can be performed for alleviating pain originating from the upper abdominal organs. In particular, their most prominent indication is pancreatic cancer pain, because pain is a common symptom reported in approximately 80% of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer, representing a major issue in the management of patients [1].
