title: [Ambulatory epidural morphine analgesia via a transcutaneous implanted spinal catheter].
abstract: This report deals with a patient suffering from recurring rectum carcinoma infiltrating the lumbosacral plexus who received ambulant treatment with spinal opiate supply by a pump device, using a transcutaneous spinal catheter over a period of 12 weeks. The catheter turned out to be simple to implant. During the whole period no malfunctions occurred. This form of spinal analgesic treatment allowed the patient a relatively pain-free life outside the hospital.
