Clinical Evaluation of Transhiatal Bilateral Splanchnicotomy for Patients with Intractable Supramesenteric Pain

P = 0.0002 and P = 0.002, respectively) lower than the preoperative pain score (3.5 ± 0.7). Furthermore, the mean postoperative pain reduction percentage (85% ± 13%) evaluated by those patients was also significantly different (P < 0.0001). The present study showed no significant complications for TBS, except for minor complications such as the transient fall of blood pressure and reparable pleural damage. Interestingly, a long-term follow-up revealed that no complications related to the splanchnicotomy were observed. These results indicate that TBS is a useful treatment for patients with intractable supramesenteric pain caused by cancer as well as benign diseases..
