Summary

Spinal Surgery can be associated with significant post operative pain. This can be a considerable source of morbidity, resulting in a longer duration of in- hospital stay and increasing opiate requirements. As a result the patient experiences a more arduous recovery process.

Recently a new form of Regional Anaesthesia has been described for patients undergoing Spinal surgery. The Erector Spinae Plane Block involves depositing Local Anaesthetic under Ultra Sound guidance on top of the Transverse Process of the Spine and deep to the Erector Spinae Muscle. Patients who have had this procedure report lower pain scores and have a lesser opiate requirement in the post operative period.
