Ultrasound-Guided vs. Surgeon-Performed (Free-hand) Erector Spinae Plane Block

Turkey (Türkiye)102 participantsStarted 2022-08-01

Plain-language summary

The aim of this study is to compare the analgesic efficacy of ultrasound-guided (USG) lumbar Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) performed by an anesthesiologist versus a "free-hand" ESPB performed intraoperatively by the surgeon in patients undergoing Unilateral Biportal Endoscopic Discectomy (UBE). The investigators hypothesize that Us-guided would provide more effective analgesia, and USG-guided application might provide more precise local anesthetic spread.
