Abstract
Disabling pain of pancreatic origin can be relieved by drugs, by direct surgery to the pancreas, or by denervation of the pancreas. The place of each is discussed in the management of pancreatic pain. The special role of a coeliac plexus block in these cases is emphasized and the technique of its performance is described in detail.Keywords
