The inter-semispinal plane (ISP) block is a novel ultrasound-guided technique that involves local anesthetic injection into the fascial plane between the semispinalis cervicis and semispinalis capitis muscles with subsequent block of the dorsal rami of the cervical spinal nerves and hence can get adequate postoperative analgesia. The authors hypothesized that ISP block can reduce the postoperative analgesic consumption in patients undergoing posterior cervical spine surgeries. The aim of this study is to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of ISP block in patients undergoing posterior cervical spine surgery.
