On the last episode of Bendy Bodies, Dr. Andrew Callen explained how epidural blood patches actually spread in the spine.
Research shows that higher volume can cover more area - but placement matters just as much.
Because how far a patch spreads depends on where it’s injected,not just how much is used.
Even smaller volumes can be effectivewhen targeted to the right location.
And that’s key - because most CSF leaks occur in the thoracic spine.
Understanding both volume and placement can make a real difference in treatment outcomes.
