Brief Summary

Spinal surgery is typically associated with severe postoperative pain. Although the number of spinal surgeries has increased day by day, postoperative pain management have been limited. The recently described thoracolumbar interfacial plane block (TLIPB) has been reported to provide effective postoperative analgesia in spinal surgery. In addition, the recently described erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is obtained by applying the local anesthetic drug between the fascia of the spina muscles and the transverse process of the vertebrae. Anatomical and radiological investigations in fresh cadavers suggest that the potential place of influence of ESPB is dorsal and ventral spinal nerve roots. A small number of publications showing the analgesic efficacy of ESP in spinal surgery have been reported in the literature. In this study, the investigators aimed to compare the analgesic efficacy of TLIPB and ESPB in spinal surgeries.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Total morphine consumption48 hour

The total amount of morphine given by patient controlled analgesia in 48 hours will be recorded.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Pain intensity score at rest48 hour

Changes in Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) at rest and on movement will be recorded at postoperative 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48 hour. he NRS is a segmented numeric version of the visual analog scale (VAS) in which a respondent selects a whole number (0-10 integers) that best reflects the intensity of patient pain. Each item is scored 0-10( 0:no pain 10: pain as bad as can be )

Pain intensity score at movement48 hour

Changes in Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) at rest and on movement will be recorded at postoperative 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48 hour. he NRS is a segmented numeric version of the visual analog scale (VAS) in which a respondent selects a whole number (0-10 integers) that best reflects the intensity of patient pain. Each item is scored 0-10( 0:no pain 10: pain as bad as can be )

Time to first rescue analgesia48 hour

If VAS is greater than 3, 25 mg of meperidine will be administered.

Postoperative nausea and vomiting48 hour

Changes in Numeric Rank Score will be recorded at postoperative 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48 hour. Numeric rank score 0-3(0: no nausea and vomiting; 1:have nausea, no vomiting; 2:once vomiting attack; 3: have two or more vomiting attacks)

Patient satisfaction score48 hour

Will be scored between 1-5 (1- very bad 5-very good).
