Abstract

Caudal epidural block is a popular technique for paediatric, surgical, anaesthesia, and chronic pain management in adults. It is carried out by introducing a needle via the sacral hiatus into the sacral epidural region. The use of fluoroscopy and ultrasound to guide needle placement has significantly improved the success rate of caudal epidural blocks. The anatomical features of the sacral hiatus and the dorsal wall of the sacral canal vary according to its clinical application in caudal epidural anaesthesia. This article will provide a brief overview of the necessary anatomy and techniques for administering the caudal epidural block
