“…Only a few case reports have reported sensorial findings after lumbar ESPB. 8,17,23,25,28,30,[35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47] Spread of LA between T12 and S1 dermatomes were reported when 30-40 mL of LA was used, 28 with similar findings for the lower volume of 20 mL also reported. 30,38 Low volume injections have generally been utilized in back pain and spinal surgeries.…”

“…In two separate case reports of two high-risk patients, bilevel ESPB performed from T12 and L1 with 15 mL of LA in each level, as the main anesthetic method in inguinal hernia surgery. 45,73 Lumbar ESPB in Special Cases Radicular pain can especially be observed during pregnancy and its treatment is challenging. Although medical treatment options are available, the uteroplacental transition is problematic and the use of drugs during pregnancy may not be preferred.…”

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.

“… 7 Since its implementation, ESPB has been assessed in several surgical procedures such as cholecystectomy, inguinal herniorrhaphy, hip and breast surgeries, and abdominal hysterectomies. 4 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 There are narrative reviews regarding its use but to this moment, there is not a systematic review summarizing the quantitative data and assessing the quality of evidence of its use on cesarean delivery. 14 , 15 Therefore, we sought to assess the role of ESPB for analgesia after cesarean delivery by a systematic review and meta-analysis.…”
