Spinal surgery is typically associated with severe postoperative pain. Although the number of spinal surgeries has increased day by day, postoperative pain management have been limited. The recently described thoracolumbar interfacial plane block (TLIPB) has been reported to provide effective postoperative analgesia in spinal surgery. In addition, the recently described erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is obtained by applying the local anesthetic drug between the fascia of the spina muscles and the transverse process of the vertebrae. Anatomical and radiological investigations in fresh cadavers suggest that the potential place of influence of ESPB is dorsal and ventral spinal nerve roots. A small number of publications showing the analgesic efficacy of ESP in spinal surgery have been reported in the literature. In this study, the investigators aimed to compare the analgesic efficacy of TLIPB and ESPB in spinal surgeries.

Masking
TRIPLE
Enrollment
60
Thoracolumbar interfascial plane block: Bilateral 20 ml 0.25 % Bupivacaine with 2mg preservative free dexametasone and 5mcg/ml epinephrine injected between multifidus and longissimus muscle with USG guidance
Erector spinae plane block: Bilateral 20 ml 0.25 % Bupivacaine with 2mg preservative free dexametasone and 5mcg/ml epinephrine injected between the erector spinae muscles and transverse process with USG guidance
Total morphine consumption
The total amount of morphine given by patient controlled analgesia in 48 hours will be recorded.
Time frame: 48 hour
Pain intensity score at rest
Changes in Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) at rest and on movement will be recorded at postoperative 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48 hour. he NRS is a segmented numeric version of the visual analog scale (VAS) in which a respondent selects a whole number (0-10 integers) that best reflects the intensity of patient pain. Each item is scored 0-10( 0:no pain 10: pain as bad as can be )
Time frame: 48 hour
Pain intensity score at movement
Changes in Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) at rest and on movement will be recorded at postoperative 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48 hour. he NRS is a segmented numeric version of the visual analog scale (VAS) in which a respondent selects a whole number (0-10 integers) that best reflects the intensity of patient pain. Each item is scored 0-10( 0:no pain 10: pain as bad as can be )
Time frame: 48 hour
Time to first rescue analgesia
If VAS is greater than 3, 25 mg of meperidine will be administered.
Time frame: 48 hour
Postoperative nausea and vomiting
Changes in Numeric Rank Score will be recorded at postoperative 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48 hour. Numeric rank score 0-3(0: no nausea and vomiting; 1:have nausea, no vomiting; 2:once vomiting attack; 3: have two or more vomiting attacks)
Time frame: 48 hour
Patient satisfaction score
Will be scored between 1-5 (1- very bad 5-very good).
Time frame: 48 hour
