Summary

Spine surgery is typically associated with severe postoperative pain. Although the number of spine surgeries has increased day by day, postoperative pain management have been limited. The recently described erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is obtained by applying the local anesthetic drug between the fascia of the erector spinae muscles and the transverse process of the vertebrae. Anatomical and radiological investigations in fresh cadavers suggest that the potential place of influence of ESPB is dorsal and ventral spinal nerve roots. A small number of publications showing the analgesic efficacy of ESP in spinal surgery have been reported in the literature. The erector spinae muscles are easily identified during spine surgery, and erector spinae plane blocks can be performed under direct vision rather than via ultrasound guidance or simply using anatomical landmarks. Therefore, the investigators aim to observe the efficacy of the under direct vision erector spinae plane block on pain scores after spinal surgery.
