Sponsor's own description

US-guided peripheral nerve blocks have been used increasingly due to the advantages of ultrasound in anesthesia practice. TLIP block is one of these nerve blocks performed under US guidance. In this technique, local anesthetic solution is injected between the multifidus and longissimus muscles nearly at the level of the 3rd lumbar vertebra and targets the dorsal rami of the thoracolumbar nerves. However, the visualisation of this technique may be difficult under ultrasound (US) guidance. Therefore, Ahiskalioglu et al. defined modified lateral technique of TLIP block as a new approach. The aim of this study is to compare US-guided classic and modified (lateral) techniques of TLIP block for postoperative analgesia management after lumbar laminectomy surgery .
