Anesthesia for Major Spine Surgery | Strategies to Improve Pain Control [2022]

Overview of the heterogenous nature of complex/major spine surgery, emerging ERAS (enhanced recovery after surgery) pathways, and the perioperative analgesic strategies commonly used by anesthesiologists. We focus on the current role for regional anesthesia techniques - in particular, the erector spinae plane (ESP) and thoracolumbar fascial plane (TLIP) blocks.
