Brief summary

The study will be conducted at the University of Health Sciences Erzurum Regional Education and Research Hospital with patients who are scheduled for elective lumbar disc hernia surgery. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of erector spinae plane (ESP) block on postoperative pain levels. Efficiency is assessed by pain score, analgesic use, and other outcomes. We hypothesize; that ultrasound-guided ESP block in lumbar disc hernia operation will reduce postoperative pain level.

Interventions

Erector spinae plane (ESP) block Technique: It is a single shot technique performed by an anesthetist ( one of the investigators) at the beginning of the surgical procedure in the operation room. An in-plane approach in the prone position will be attempted under the ultrasound guidance. Using a 6- to 15-MHz high-frequency linear probe, Erector spinae (ES) muscles will be visualized at the L3 transverse process 22g needle will be used to locate ES, after saline test dose 0.25% bupivacaine (20 mL

This ESP block is monitored in the recovery room and assessed how effective in providing postoperative pain relief in lumbar disc hernia surgery.
