A surgical procedure for managing postoperative pain is disclosed. More particularly, the technique involves use of intrafascial catheter introducer to thread a soaker catheter or the like through fascial sheaths of the human body (e.g., abdominal and chest walls) to relieve postoperative pain. The use of the soaker catheter in apposition to the intercostal nerves enhances the efficacy of the soaker catheter that is normally laid in the subcutaneous space. Case study results evidence the enhanced efficacy of the surgical procedure.
