Abstract

Peridural catheterization connected to a sub-cutaneous morphine reservoir can provide an effective and prolonged analgesia for certain pelvic pains of a urological origin which resist the usual sedative therapies. The authors describe the method of catheterization and the results which they have obtained in five patients treated in this way.
