[Application of Erector Spinae Plane Block in Spine Surgery:A Review].

Spine surgery may lead to moderate to severe pain.Poorly controlled postoperative pain seriously affects the prognosis and recovery of patients.The erector spinae plane block (ESPB),firstly proposed in 2016 as a novel interfascial plane block,has been widely used in the management of intraoperative and postoperative pain in spine surgery.It has been confirmed as a safe,simple,and effective block.This review describes the anatomic basis,mechanism,and methods of ESPB,summarizes the clinical application of ESPB in spine surgery,and makes an outlook on the potential role of ESPB as a part in the multimodal management of postoperative pain in spine surgery.
