    AbstractThis technical note describes lysis of adhesions in the epidural space with the use of a 5F vascular catheter inserted on a 0.35-inch guide passed through the sacral foramen. Commonly employed in the administration of anesthetics, a vascular catheter can be advantageously used in place of the Racz epidural catheter, with a potential reduction in damage to the nerve structures of the sacral canal.
