title: [Caudal epidural neuroplasty].
abstract: Epidural fibrosis and adhesions can have many causes. Postsurgical bleeding and the healing process frequently produce scarring. The associated irritation or inducement of epidural venous engorgement may contribute to pain production. Lysis of epidural adhesions could be performed after rest, drug therapies such as NSAID and muscle relaxants, physical therapy with activity programs and epidural steroid injections.
