Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a surgery that relieves hip joint pain and improves its functions and is widely performed in the elderly population. New analgesic methods need to be developed to protect these patients from the pain and side effects of opioids used for treatment. Many scales are available to indicate postoperative patient recovery. One of these is the quality of recovery-15 (QoR-15) recovery test, which was first applied by Stark et al. in 2013. We think that an ESPB applied from the sacral region will spread to the lumbar region by diffusion, affect the lumbar plexus, and provide complete analgesia in the ventral and dorsal regions of the hip by affecting the sacral plexus in the sacral region. The investigator's primary aim in this study is to evaluate the effect of sacral erector spinae plane block (S-ESPB) on the quality of recovery and healing after TKA through the QoR-15 score and to evaluate its effect on postoperative pain.
