Observational analysis shows variations in hole morphology based on bevel direction and dura geometry, suggesting optimal techniques for puncture.

Paramedian perforations with lateral bevel direction resulted in flap formation during puncture.
Uniform hole size was observed in median perforations regardless of bevel orientation.
Bevel facing laterally during puncture may reduce postdural puncture headache incidence.
Experiments utilized a drill press to create linear perforations in simulated dura mater membranes.

Kempen et al. (1997) studied this question.
