Brief summary

Aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of erector spinae plane block (ESB) for postoperative pain management in lumbar spine surgery.

Interventions

PROCEDUREerector spinae block for group E

. The patient will be placed in the prone position. A high-frequency linear probe or a curved array probe, depending on the BMI of the patient, will be placed in longitudinal alignment, 2-3cm lateral to the vertebral column. The transverse processes of the vertebrae at the level of surgery, the erector spinae muscle, and the psoas muscle will be identified. A 5- or 8-cm 22-G ultrasound needle will be inserted with an in-plane technique in a cephalad-to-caudal direction until bone contact with the top of the transverse process is reached. After slight retraction of the needle, 20ml of bupivacaine 0.25% will be injected behind the erector spinae muscle. The same procedure will be repeated on the contralateral side.
