Celiac Plexus Block (Lower Mainland) [English] Permalink Public
This procedure helps ease abdomen (belly) pain caused from such things as cancer or chronic pancreatitis. The celiac (or solar) plexus is a bundle of nerves in the upper abdomen near the aorta (main artery in your abdomen). The nerves send pain messages from your abdomen to your brain. Blocking these nerves can help ease the pain. (English) Colour
