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.

We hypothesized that incidence 30-day complications is not significantly different between these two surgical treatment strategies. Methods performed retrospective, observational Pediatr...
