Abstract

Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is an inter-fascial plane block that provides multi-dermatomal analgesia for treatment of acute pain and chronic neuropathic pain in the trunk. This retrospective case series describes a novel method of treating acute postoperative pain after spinal cord stimulation implant with erector spinae plane block using liposomal bupivacaine. Bilateral erector spinae plane block was administered at L1–L2 intervertebral level in 18 cases prior to performing spinal cord stimulation implant at one interspace above. This study reveals that the block provides effective analgesia as evidenced by low pain scores and less opioid consumption after surgery.
