Permanent Epidural \/ Spinal Port - Pump System<\/strong>is a method that provides continuous drug infusion around the spine, used in cases where long-term pain management or drug therapy is required. This system allows drugs to be delivered directly to the epidural or intrathecal (spinal) area and is a highly effective option for controlling chronic pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>What is Permanent Epidural \/ Spinal Port and Pump System?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This system is a device that allows medication to be delivered to areas around the spine (epidural or intrathecal space). It has two main components:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Catheter:<\/strong>\n
      \n
    • A thin tube is inserted into the epidural or intrathecal space.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Through this tube, the medication reaches the targeted area.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Pump System:<\/strong>\n
        \n
      • Outer Port<\/strong> It is placed under the skin and, if necessary, filled with medication with a needle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Implantable Pump:<\/strong> It is a device that is completely implanted under the skin and delivers medication in a programmable way.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        <\/span>In which cases is it used?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Chronic Pain Management:<\/strong>\n
            \n
          • Cancer pain<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Pain due to spinal degeneration or disc disease.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Neuropathic pain due to nerve damage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Muscle Spasm and Spasticity:<\/strong>\n
              \n
            • Muscle spasms in multiple sclerosis (MS), cerebral palsy or spinal cord injuries.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Palliative Care:<\/strong>\n
                \n
              • Improving quality of life in advanced stage diseases.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Surgical Pain Management:<\/strong>\n
                  \n
                • Long-term pain control in the postoperative period.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                  <\/span>How is the Procedure Performed?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                  1. Evaluation and Preparation:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \n
                  • The patient undergoes a detailed assessment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • The area of application (epidural or intrathecal) is determined.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • The drugs and the type of device to be used are selected according to the patient's needs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                    2. Catheter Placement:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      \n
                    • In a sterile environment, a thin catheter is inserted into the spine under local or general anaesthesia.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • The tip of the catheter is inserted into the epidural or intrathecal space.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                      3. Pump or Port Placement:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        \n
                      • Port:<\/strong> The other end of the catheter is placed under the skin and can be filled with medication if necessary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      • Pump<\/strong> In more advanced systems, a small pump device is placed under the skin. This pump delivers medication on a regular or programmed basis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                        4. Test and Adjustment:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          \n
                        • The system is tested and the drug dosage and infusion rates are programmed according to the patient's needs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
