Abstract
To evaluate the available evidence for the utility of Erector Spinae Plane blocks (ESPB) after Lumbar surgery. 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. Studies demonstrate that ESPB are consistently found to be a safe and effective method of analgesia after lumbar surgery, with limited adverse effects. 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.
