“…Following the description of the thoracic and lumbar erector spinae plane block, sacral ESPB was defined owing to the course of ESM from the cervical area to the sacrum. 10,79 Sacral ESPB was first defined as the application of LA between the multifidus and the intermediate crest that lies immediately medial to the sacral foramina in the interfascial plane. Soon after, it was described using the longitudinal midline approach.…”

Defined in the last decade, erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is one of the more frequently used interfacial plans, and it has been the most discussed block among the recently defined techniques. Lumbar ESPB administered at lumbar levels is relatively novel and is a new horizon for regional anesthesia and pain practice. In this article, we aim to explain and introduce different approaches and explain the possible mechanism of action of lumbar ESPB. The objective of this review is to analyze the case reports, clinical and cadaveric studies about lumbar ESPB that have been published to date. We performed a search in "Pubmed" and "Google Scholar" database. After a selection of the relevant studies, 59 articles were found eligible and were included in this review. While we believe that lumbar ESPB is reliable and easy, we suggest that its efficacy and indications should be verified with anatomical and clinical studies, and its safety should be confirmed with pharmacokinetic studies. Moreover, the possibility of complications must be considered.

“…At our institution, we regularly utilize the thoracic ESPB as a component of our regional anesthesia pain service for both chest and abdominal surgeries. More recently, the lumbar ESPB has been described for abdominal surgeries, prostatectomy, lumbar spine surgery, total hip arthroplasty, and proximal femur surgery [7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

The erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is an interfascial plane block that has been used to provide perioperative analgesia for a variety of indications. This case report describes the novel use of the sacral ESPB on a transgender patient undergoing male-to-female gender reassignment surgery for perioperative pain control. The sacral ESPB technique was described and post-operative pain score and opioid requirements were reported. The sacral ESPB was successfully used as an alternative to neuraxial, caudal, or peripheral nerve blocks for gender reassignment surgery.
