Comparison of the Postoperative Analgesic Efficacy of SPSIPB and ESPB in Anterior Cervical Discectomy
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block: Serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block will be performed on the patients using 30 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine under ultrasound guidance. Additionally, in the postoperative period a paracetamol dose of 1 g every 8 hours and a dexketoprofen dose of 50 mg twice daily were administered iv for multimodal analgesia.
Erector spinae plane block: Erector spinae plane block will be performed on the patients using 30 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine under ultrasound guidance. Additionally, in the postoperative period a paracetamol dose of 1 g every 8 hours and a dexketoprofen dose of 50 mg twice daily were administered iv for multimodal analgesia.
Group without peripheral nerve block: In the postoperative period a paracetamol dose of 1 g every 8 hours and a dexketoprofen dose of 50 mg twice daily were administered iv for multimodal analgesia.
Study summary
Anterior cervical discectomy is an operation performed for complaints of pain, numbness or loss of strength due to cervical disc disease. With this operation, pressure due to herniation on the upper neck area, spinal cord or nerve roots is relieved. It is performed by microscopic method from the front of the neck.
Nerve blocks reduces opioid consumption in the postoperative period by providing better pain control and therefore has advantages such as fewer side effects and less risk of pulmonary and cardiac complications.
In this study; it was aimed to compare the analgesic effectiveness of serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block and erector spinae plane block, with each other and with the control group in the postoperative period in patients who underwent anterior cervical discectomy.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Pain Scores — On the operation day
Pain will be assessed at rest and while coughing using the visual analog scale on a scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain). Pain assessment will be done at 0st, 1st, 2nd,4th, 12th, and 24th hours after surgery.
