Sacral surgeries are a relatively rare type of spine surgery associated with a significant amount of perioperative pain. The paraspinal interfascial or erector spinae plane block is currently being practiced with promising results in cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine surgeries. It provides not only effective analgesia but also helps in reducing perioperative opioid consumption. Sacral multifidus plane block is one such variant of paraspinal blocks, which may have an equianalgesic profile. This case report describes a novel application of this block for providing perioperative analgesia in sacral spine surgery.
骶骨手术是一种相对少见的脊柱手术类型,会伴随大量围手术期疼痛。目前,椎旁肌筋膜间平面阻滞或竖脊肌平面阻滞在颈椎、胸椎和腰椎手术中应用,效果良好。它不仅能提供有效的镇痛,还有助于减少围手术期阿片类药物的使用。骶骨多裂肌平面阻滞是椎旁阻滞的一种变体,可能具有等效镇痛作用。本病例报告描述了这种阻滞在骶骨脊柱手术围手术期镇痛中的新应用。
