Postoperative pain in spine surgery is an issue. Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) may reduce such postoperative pain, but its usefulness has never been evaluated in the specific context of trauma surgery. We thus studied the effect of bilateral ultrasound-guided ESPB on postoperative pain and opioid requirement after percutaneous lumbar arthrodesis for trauma. ⋯ In this pilot study, compared with standard analgesia, ESPB reduced opioid requirement and postoperative pain after percutaneous lumbar arthrodesis for trauma. A randomized controlled trial is required to prove this effectiveness.
