Abstract
The incidence of postdural puncture headache (PDPH) decreases with the use of thin needles (26–30-G) or conical needles. However, the use of thinner needles carries a higher risk of failure of spinal anaesthesia, leading to the development of double-needle techniques. With the decrease in incidence of severe PDPH, spinal anaesthesia is now recommended for use in day-care surgery and Caesarean section.
