    AbstractA retrospective review was undertaken of 61 consecutive cases of combined spinal and epidural block for caesarean section during the period from 27.3.1988 to 13.12.1991. It was found that combined spinal and epidural block was sufficient in 90% of the cases. In 10% it was necessary to give intravenous analgetic supplementation. A high frequency of intermittent hypotension (75%) was found and 15% developed postdural puncture headache. It is concluded that combined spinal and epidural anaesthesia for caesarean section combine the advances of spinal and epidural anaesthesia. However, smaller or Sprotte spinal needles must be used and more vigorous efforts made to avoid hypotension.
