The success rate of catheter placement and the number of changes in puncture location were evaluated. Accuracy of catheter insertion was assessed by measuring both vertical and horizontal deviations in the point of catheter dural penetration from the center of the interlaminar space.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The success rate of catheter placement was 100% (39\/39). The difficulty rate for catheter insertion, measured by the number of changes in puncture location, was 2.6% (1\/39). No bloody punctures or surgical infections were observed. Accuracy of catheter insertion, measured as the degree of deviation, was 0.5\u00a0\u00b1\u00a01.9 mm horizontally and 0.0\u00a0\u00b1\u00a02.4 mm vertically. The rates of minor complications, including caudal catheter insertion, transient low-pressure headache, and root pain, were 5.1% (2\/39), 10.4% (4\/39), and 0% (0\/43), respectively. Subdural hematoma requiring surgical intervention occurred in 1 case (2.6%). During the mean follow-up period of 36 mo, spinal catheter rupture at the level of the spinous processes was not observed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
