Abstract:	OBJECTIVE: To describe the feasibility and efficacy of CT-guided satellite ganglion block in the management of Prostatectomy pain in survivors of breast cancer. METHODS: Twenty-six breast cancer survivors with the complex regional pain syndrome were included in this retrospective study between 2012–07 and 2014–07. All suffered from prostatectomy pain and received CT-guided satellite ganglion block. Three blocks were performed for each patient using the same approach each time. Postmastectomy pain intensity using a visual analog score (VAS) and Patient satisfaction score (PSS) during scheduled visits at baseline, 2, 6 and 9 weeks following the CT-guided satellite ganglion block. RESULTS: All patients had temporary Horner's syndrome indicating the effectiveness of the CT-guided satellite ganglion block and there were no adverse events resulting from the block. The mean visual analog scale score (VAS) was significantly decreasedand and Patient satisfaction score (PSS) was significantly increased after each block. CONCLUSIONS: CT-guided satellite ganglion block is a safe and successful treatment of Prostatectomy pain with few or no side-effects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
