Surgeon-placed erector spinae plane block catheter for administering continuous regional anesthesia after lumbar fusion procedures

Michael Verdon

Regional anesthesia for spine surgery is difficult to provide on a consistent basis. This is especially important after arthrodesis procedures which tend to have significant post operative pain. Poor postoperative pain control leads to immobility, increased length of stay, increased narcotics usage, and lower patient reported outcome measures.
