Comparing the Effect of Classical and Modified Thoracolumbar Interfascial Plane Block on Postoperative Pain and IL-6 Level in Posterior Lumbar Decompression and Stabilization Surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ultrasound (US)-guided classical and modified thoracolumbar interfascial plane (TLIP) blocks are often used to provide adequate analgesia after lumbar spinal surgery. Postoperative pro-inflammatory interleukin 6 (IL-6) blood concentrations after lumbar spine surgery are related to postoperative pain and inflammation.

Objectives

The purpose of this prospective randomized parallel controlled study was to assess postoperative pain and serum levels of pro-inflammatory IL-6 after posterior lumbar decompression and stabilization surgery with a classical and modified technique of TLIP block.

Methods

This prospective randomized, single-blinded controlled pilot study was conducted on eight patients who will undergo posterior lumbar decompression and stabilization su
