This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the efficacy of bilateral lumbar erector spinae plane (ESP) block in providing effective postoperative analgesia and its potential impact on early mobilization and length of hospital stay in patients undergoing surgical repair of lumbar disc herniation.
Regional anesthesia techniques, particularly erector spinae plane blocks, have become an integral component of multimodal analgesia strategies in postoperative pain management. The ESP block has demonstrated effective analgesia across a wide spectrum of thoracic and abdominal surgeries and is increasingly utilized due to its ease of application and safety profile. By implementing multimodal analgesic techniques, this study seeks to achieve effective pain control, reduce opioid consumption and associated complications, facilitate early mobilization, decrease hospital length of stay, and enhance patient comfort.
