ABSTRACT = {Non-obstructive, chronic flank pain in urologic patients 
can be a challenging problem to manage. In this series, 
we examined the efficacy of celiac plexus blockade in 
providing pain relief and reducing opiate use in 14 adult 
urology patients with non-obstructive flank pain for 
> 1 year. Demographic, clinical, and procedural variables were collected from the medical record for retrospective 
analysis. Subjective improvement in pain occurred in 
11 individuals (79%), and 5 (50%) were able to reduce 
their daily morphine equivalent dose (MED). Celiac 
plexus blockade is a viable option for symptomatic relief in 
urologic patients with non-obstructive chronic flank pain.},
