Renal colic is a common cause of pain; however, there have been few reports of treating this pain with regional anesthesia. We report on a 49-year-old man presenting with severe left flank pain resulting from a 4-mm stone in the left ureter. The pain was minimally responsive to intravenous opioids. Left-sided paravertebral blocks were performed at T7 and T9 with 10 mL bupivacaine 0.5% with epinephrine 2.5 µg/mL to each paravertebral space. The pain resolved over the following 30 minutes, and the patient was discharged home. No further pain was experienced before and while subsequently passing the stone.
肾绞痛是一种常见的疼痛原因;然而,用区域麻醉来治疗这种疼痛的报道很少。我们报告了一例 49 岁男性,因左输尿管 4 毫米结石导致严重左侧腰痛。静脉注射阿片类药物对疼痛的缓解作用很小。在 T7 和 T9 进行左侧椎旁阻滞,每个椎旁间隙注射 10 毫升 0.5%布比卡因加 2.5μg/mL 肾上腺素。疼痛在接下来的 30 分钟内缓解,患者出院回家。在排石前和排石过程中都没有再出现疼痛。
