Abstract

SUMMARY Percutaneous coeliac plexus and lumbar sympathetic blocks were performed blind in cadavers to investigate the frequency of puncture of a major organ. In a series of 120 needle placements, the kidney was punctured on only one occasion and this would almost certainly have been prevented by the use of fhioroscopy. The proximity of the needles to the lumbar sympathetic chain support the efficacy of this technique.
