Spine Surgeries Clinical Trial
Official title:
Thoracolumbar Interfacial Plane Block for Analgesia After Spine Surgery
The most commonly used technique to anesthetize patients scheduled for thoracic or lumbar
spine surgery is general anesthesia. Analgesic techniques vary from the use of neuraxial
techniques like epidural, intrathecal, or caudal analgesia, nerve root infiltration to the
use of systemic opioids, Paracetamol, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID),
steroids and gabapentinoids .
In 2015, a promising regional analgesia technique was reported, that targets the dorsal,
rather than ventral, rami of the thoracolumbar nerves as they pass through the paraspinal
musculature, and called this a thoracolumbar interfacial plane block (TLIP).
