Abstract
The use of epidural anaesthesia in paediatric surgery is presented as a continuation of the preliminary reports which were published in 1954 arid 1957. The technique of epidural block has been modified by the advent of Carbocaine and Nesacaine so that Xylocaine is no longer in a singular position. The introduction of the modified Wagner Point needle has added greatly to the safety and facility of epidural block.

The author believes that although epidural anaesthesia can hold a position in the practice of paediatnc anaesthesia, yet it should not be used unless all the members of the surgical team have confidence in its application
