  • Title: Long-term epidural morphine analgesia.
    Author: Mandaus L, Blomberg R, Hammar E.
    Journal: Acta Anaesthesiol Scand Suppl; 1982; 74():149-50. PubMed ID: 6953728.
    Abstract:
    Long-term treatment for malignant pain with morphine epidurally poses some technical problems: infection and contamination of epidural space, fixation of the epidural cannula, personal hygiene of the patient, etc. We suggest that a solution to these problems is subcutaneous tunnelling of the epidural cannula. This paper describes our technique and presents the case histories of two patients. In one case, a single epidural cannula was used for 207 days for treatment with morphine epidurally without any complication.
