Intrathecal Pump Placement Overview:
This minimally invasive surgical procedure as a treatment option for patients suffering from chronic pain.
Intrathecal Pump Placement is a procedure that involves the placement of a small pump under the skin in the abdomen. The pump is connected to a catheter that is inserted into the spinal canal. The pump then delivers medication directly to the spinal cord, where pain signals are processed, providing relief for chronic pain.
Based on the patient’s needs, the pump is programmed to release medication continuously or on demand. The medication used in the pump is typically a combination of a local anesthetic and an opioid medication, which can provide significant pain relief with fewer side effects than oral medications.
Intrathecal Pump Placement is a minimally invasive procedure that requires only a small incision, resulting in less blood loss, lower risk of complications, and faster recovery times than traditional open surgery. Patients typically experience significant pain relief within a few days of the procedure.
Our experienced team of surgeons uses the latest technology and techniques to perform Intrathecal Pump Placement with a high degree of success. We take the time to evaluate each patient’s individual needs and develop a customized treatment plan that is tailored to their specific situation.
