| Research Abstract |
In order to improve safety of the epidural insertion needle, basic research for developing the needle tip to measure the location inside a patient's body was conducted. Tissue impedance of the porcine spines was measured. As a result, no difference in tissue impedance between the interspinal ligament and the ligamentum flavum was obtained. Endoscope was inserted inside the epidural needle. Epidural space could be visualized.
