Objective:

To present a case of endoscopic-assisted intrathecal morphine pump implantation for managing severe cancer pain due to bone metastases.

Key Findings:
  • Marked and sustained pain relief postoperatively.
  • Dramatic improvement in quality of life.
  • No significant complications during a 6-month follow-up.
Interpretation:

The endoscopic-assisted technique offers a viable alternative for patients with difficulties in standard pump implantation, showing promise for broader clinical application.

Limitations:
  • Single case study limits generalizability.
  • Long-term efficacy and safety need further investigation.
Conclusion:

Endoscopic guidance for intrathecal morphine pump placement may be an effective solution for managing severe cancer pain in challenging cases.
