BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Although continuous spinal anesthesia with microcatheters has a number of advantages, there are also some drawbacks: technical problems in advancing the catheter, the possibility of traumatizing neural structures, the development of cauda equina syndrome, and maldistribution of the local anesthetic.
METHODS: Spinaloscopy was performed with a 2-mm-diameter endoscope in fresh cadavers to visualize the fate of the catheters, as well as the distribution of the local anesthetic administered through these fine-bore catheters. Midline and paramedian approach achieved an easy insertion of the 28-gauge catheter as long as the 22-gauge needle was not advanced too far into the subarachnoid space, thereby making it impossible for the catheter to bend at the anterior wall of the dura mater.
RESULTS: Injection of methylene blue-colored hyperbaric local anesthetic through the catheter revealed an inhomogenous distribution with pooling in the caudal segments. After the catheter tip leaves the needle, the catheter should be advanced only 2-3 cm to avoid coiling, possible damage of the nerve roots, or malpositioning in preformed pouches.
CONCLUSION: To take advantage of continuous spinal anesthesia, a meticulous technique is required.
