    AbstractThoracolumbar interfascial plane block (TLIPB) has recently been described for postoperative analgesia after thoracolumbar spine surgery. This block is minimally invasive, relatively safe, and easy to perform. TLIPB can potentially decrease opioid requirements and enhance recovery following spine surgery. We describe the sonoanatomic landmarks of this technique, and we report results of this retrospective case series on analgesic impact of this block in patients undergoing implantation of spinal cord stimulation systems. Clinical studies are required to investigate the analgesic role of TLIPB for spinal thoracolumbar surgery.
