Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the available evidence for the utility of Erector Spinae Plane blocks (ESPB) after Lumbar surgery. METHODS: Databases were searched until December 20, 2020. ESPB was utilized as a MesH term and terms such as: lumbar spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, decompression and lumbar spine surgery. RESULTS: Studies demonstrate that ESPB are consistently found to be a safe and effective method of analgesia after lumbar surgery, with limited adverse effects. CONCLUSION: ESPB appear to be an effective method to relieve pain after lumbar surgery. More RCTs will be needed to further investigate the clinical effectiveness of this intervention.
