-Abstract-
Recently, epidural tunnelling was introduced for the convenience of keeping a catheter
inserted for a long period of time.
We had 15 cases in which used epidural funnelling for the treatment of intractable pain
mainly in terminal cancer patients. Epidural puncture with cannulation was carried out in
the same technique as used for epidural anesthesia.
After the subcutaneous epidural tunnelling was done from the site of the epidural
entry to the anterior chest, just under the slim using a tunnelling device, the catheter
was threaded through the tunnelling needle at the site of the outlet, was fixed and the
tip of the catheter was connected to a filter. Five ㎖ (2 ㎎) of saline diluted morphine
can be given at home as needed when intractable pawn occurs.
This long-term treatment of intractable pain by morphine injections through the
epidural cannula place by subcutaneous tunnelling, is very convenient for the patient's
daily routine and a better alternative in such a situation.
Our technique, its advantages and problems were described in this paper.
