How can a pain pump be installed in the abdomen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Easily: Pain pumps consist of the reservoir in the pump and a catheter which goes into the spine. The pump is placed under the skin and soft tissues and not in the abdomen. It should not be placed too deep as filling then becomes risky and problematic.
