Intraoperative Retrolaminar Block as Opioid Free Anesthesia After Posterior Lumber Spine Discectomy

Opioid Free Anesthesia Clinical Trial

Official title: Intraoperative Retrolaminar Block as Opioid Free Anesthesia and Enhanced Recovery After Posterior Lumber Spine Discectomy: A Randomized Controlled Study

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Opioid-free intraoperative protocols have been successfully used in specific surgical populations with equal or superior results to classic general anesthetic approaches. In instances where opioid-free anesthesia may not be entirely feasible, there exists a continually growing body of evidence that the modern anesthesiologist has a potent pharmacologic and regional anesthetic arsenal that can reduce the amount of opioids required to effectively treat pain.

Retrolaminar block is considered a new, easy and simple technique with decreasing incidence of complications such as hypotension, pleural and nerve injury. Its efficacy had been investigated in trauma patients

Clinical Trial Description

• Null hypothesis: Intraoperative retrolaminar block will not produce opioid sparing anesthetic effect and enhanced recovery after posterior lumber spine discectomy.

• Alternative hypothesis: Intraoperative retrolaminar block will produce opioid sparing anesthetic effect and enhanced recovery after posterior lumber spine discectomy. ;
