title: Caudal anaesthesia in paediatric patients.
abstract: We have described our technique of caudal anaesthesia in children. This technique was used for relief of post-operative pain in 120 patients. Relief of pain was complete. Post-operative recovery was quiet and comfortable, with no side effects. The surgeons, the parents and recovery room personnel were satisfied. There were no surgical or anaesthetic complications.
