Postoperative Pain in Lumbar Disc Surgery

This study included 46 patients who underwent lumbar disc herniation surgery under general anesthesia. After the operation, US-guided ESPB was performed on Group E, and WI was performed on Group W. Postoperative pain was assessed, and the time to first analgesic requirement, total analgesic amount in 24 hours, and side effects were recorded. IBM SPSS Statistics 22 was used for statistical analyses.

  • Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I-II

Exclusion criteria

  • Patients with recurrent lumbar disc herniation,
  • Obesity (body mass index >35 kg/m2),
  • Infection in the surgical site,

Treatment and study plan

erector spinae plane block(ESPB)

Other

ESPB group received US-guided plane block, WI group received local anaesthetic wound infiltration

Other names: wound infiltration

Primary outcomes

  1. US-guided ESPB and WI on postoperative pain

    Time frame: postoperative 1 hour, 3 hours, 12 hours, and 24 hours

    Postoperative pain assessment was conducted in the recovery unit using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) with a scale of 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain imaginable). Standard postoperative intravenous analgesia included 75 mg of diclofenac sodium administered every 8 hours. In cases where NRS was ≥4, rescue analgesia was provided with 100 mg of intravenous tramadol. Anesthesia duration, surgical duration, NRS scores at postoperative 1 hour, 3 hours, 12 hours, and 24 hours, time to first analgesic, and total analgesic requirement in the first 24 hours were recorded. All side effects (hypotension, bradycardia, etc.) were documented.
