Comparison of the Postoperative Analgesic Efficacy of SPSIPB and ESPB in Anterior Cervical Discectomy

Anterior cervical discectomy is an operation performed for complaints of pain, numbness or loss of strength due to cervical disc disease. With this operation, pressure due to herniation on the upper neck area, spinal cord or nerve roots is relieved. It is performed by microscopic method from the front of the neck.

Nerve blocks reduces opioid consumption in the postoperative period by providing better pain control and therefore has advantages such as fewer side effects and less risk of pulmonary and cardiac complications.

In this study; it was aimed to compare the analgesic effectiveness of serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block and erector spinae plane block, with each other and with the control group in the postoperative period in patients who underwent anterior cervical discectomy.

Treatment and study plan

Serratus Posterior Superior Intercostal Plane Block

Procedure

Serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block will be performed on the patients using 30 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine under ultrasound guidance.

Additionally, in the postoperative period a paracetamol dose of 1 g every 8 hours and a dexketoprofen dose of 50 mg twice daily were administered iv for multimodal analgesia.

Erector Spinae Plane Block

Procedure

Erector spinae plane block will be performed on the patients using 30 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine under ultrasound guidance.

Additionally, in the postoperative period a paracetamol dose of 1 g every 8 hours and a dexketoprofen dose of 50 mg twice daily were administered iv for multimodal analgesia.

Group without peripheral nerve block

Procedure

In the postoperative period a paracetamol dose of 1 g every 8 hours and a dexketoprofen dose of 50 mg twice daily were administered iv for multimodal analgesia.

Primary outcomes

  1. Pain Scores

    Time frame: On the operation day

    Pain will be assessed at rest and while coughing using the visual analog scale on a scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain). Pain assessment will be done at 0st, 1st, 2nd,4th, 12th, and 24th hours after surgery.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Intraoperative remifentanil consumption Intraoperative opioid consumption

    Time frame: Intraoperative period

    Remifentanil consumption for intraoperative period will be recorded

  2. Postoperative Tramadol Consumption

    Time frame: On the operation day

    Tramadol consumption for 24 hours will be recorded
