Nerve-Destroying Injection For Pelvic Pain

South Carolina rates for HCPCS 64681

A needle is guided to the superior hypogastric plexus, a bundle of nerves lying deep in the pelvis, and an agent that destroys nerve tissue is injected to cut off pain signals coming from the pelvic organs. It is the destructive treatment rather than a temporary numbing injection, which is offered as a separate service. Imaging such as X-ray is often used to place the needle accurately.
