Abstract

Aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy in reducing post-operative pain and opioid analgesia of a novel inter-disciplinary strategy combining pre-operative Thoraco-Lumbar Interfascial Plane (TLIP) block and percutaneous/endoscopic TLIF surgery. Secondary aims were to determine the time to first postoperative ambulation and hospital length of stay.
