Thoracic paravertebral nerve catheter reduces postoperative opioid use for vertebral body tethering patients.
Abstract
Vertebral body tethering is increasingly being performed, yet postoperative pain management has not yet been optimized. We sought to determine whether the addition of a thoracic paravertebral block in addition to a standard multimodal postoperative pain management program could provide greater pain relief, reduced analgesic requirement, and reduced length of stay.
