Abstract
Transsacral neurolytic block with 2.5ml of phenol in glycerine or bupivacaine was performed in 6 patients with malignant diseases and a patient with sphincter spasm of bladder due to spinal cord injury. Pain relief was satisfactory in all patints except one patient with very low pain threshold. In one patient, second transsacral neurolytic block alone was not sufficient because of widespread pain along distant metastasis of the malignant disease, although the first block was satisfactory. The complications include transient motor weakness(4), voiding difficulty(1), subarachnoid puncture(1), and epidural venous puncture(1), but they were all spontaneously recovered within a sbort period of time and did not give any limitation to the block.
