Abstract

INTRODUCTION: There is a lack of clarity regarding the ideal local anaesthetic volume for modified thoracolumbar interfascial plane (mTLIP) block. This study was designed to investigate the analgesic efficacy of two different volumes of bupivacaine 0.25% (20 mL, and 10 mL) for ultrasound-guided mTLIP block in patients undergoing lumbar spine surgeries.
