Posterior lumbar decompression and stabilization are surgical procedures that alter spinal instability and deformity [Postoperative pain during lumbar decompression and posterior stabilization procedures accounts for the management of nociceptive, neuropathic, and inflammatory pain [Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) and classical thoracolumbar interfascial plane (TLIP) block have been used recently to provide good pain control after posterior decompression and stabilization [ESPB inhibits pain transmission in the dorsal of the thoracic and abdominal spinal nerves [The study was conducted to compare the efficacy of ESPB and classical TLIP block in providing perioperative analgesia among patients undergoing lumbar posterior decompression and stabilization. The primary outcome was the difference in IL-6 and IL-10 serum concentrations at baseline and 6 h after lumbar posterior decompression and stabilization, and the secondary outcomes were total opioid consumption and pain score at 24 h post-operatively.
