AbstractThe ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane (ESP) block is a novel interfascial plane block technique providing analgesic effects in different localizations of the body, in accordance with the level of administration. Although ESP block is usually performed in the thoracic region in pediatric patients, it is possible to achieve ESP block in the lumbar region as well. Postoperative pain management is essential in patients undergoing operative hip treatment, one of the most common procedures in pediatric orthopedic surgery. We report on a case of effective intraoperative analgesia achieved by ultrasound-guided lumbar ESP block and another case of effective intra- and postoperative analgesia accomplished with perineural catheter placement in addition to lumbar ESP block, both performed in children surgically treated for developmental hip disorders.
