Abstract:

Caudal anesthesia is commonly used a regional anesthesia technique for sub-umbilical surgeries in pediatrics and for chronic pain management in adults. Ultrasound guided caudal epidural block improves the success rate with minimizes complications. We report a patient who underwent lateral sphincterotomy under ultrasound guided caudal epidural anesthesia and developed transient urinary incontinence with prolonged perineal sensory loss postoperatively.
