Overview
Caudal anesthesia is a form of regional anesthesia used to block pain in the lower part of the body. It is performed by injecting numbing medication close to the caudal or sacral nerves of the spine. Caudal anesthesia is commonly used when performing surgeries such as lower abdominal and lower limb surgeries, as well as childbirth. It is effective and has fewer side effects than general anesthesia, making it a safe, popular choice. Caudal anesthesia has been used for over 120 years and is an important tool for pain management and surgical procedures in the lower body.
