Acute pain management in lumbar vertebrae re-surgery

Performing a trunk nerve block for acute pain management in re-surgery is difficult because of crushing muscle tissue and interfascial plane. Additionally, as lumbar vertebrae re-surgery carries a high risk of infection, it is very difficult to perform the trunk nerve block for the lumbar vertebrae re-surgery. However, if acute pain management for the lumbar vertebrae surgery is neglected, there is a risk that it might turn into chronic postoperative pain [1].
