Anatomic consideration of caudal epidural space: a cadaver study.

30 Aug 2009 The knowledge of sacral hiatus anatomy is imperative in clinical situations requiring caudal epidural block for various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures of the lumbosacral spine to avoid failure and dural injury. In this study, a detailed ... Read more...

A randomized trial of the traditional sitting position versus the hamstring stretch position for labor epidural needle placement.

30 Jul 2009 BACKGROUND: Anecdotal and experimental evidence suggest that a sitting position with maximum knee extension, hip adduction, and forward lean (hamstring stretch position) may produce better reversal of the lumbar lordosis than a traditional sitting ... Read more...

Evaluation of epidurographic contrast patterns with fluoroscopic-guided lumbar interlaminar ventral epidural injection.

29 Jun 2009 BACKGROUND: Targeted ventral epidural steroid injection with a transforaminal approach has been widely used for the treatment of nerve root inflammation and pain. Lumbar interlaminar approach is also commonly used; however, ventral epidural ... Read more...
