[Peridural administration of analgesics using an implanted Rickham reservoir].
Peridurally administered analgetica provide pain relief and may also be used for treatment of chronic pain of malignant origin. Compared to injection via externalized catheter single-shot injection via implantable reservoir and peridural catheter offers some advantages. The authors have used this method first 1985. Technique of implantation and preliminary results of this method are presented as a case report.
