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

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.

Intervention

Procedure:
• Standard analgesia (paracetamol +fentanyl)
Patients will receive standard analgesia (paracetamol 15mg/kg plus fentanyl 1ug/kg) iv
• Retrolaminar block with bupivacaine + magnesium sulfate + dexamethasone
Patients will receive intraopertative retrolaminar block: 15 ml of bupivacaine 0. 25 % plus 2ml magnesium sulfate 10% (200mg) plus 2ml (8mg) dexamethasone on each side by slipping the needle of injection on the bone of spinous process and lamina.
