Summary
Opioid overuse is a widespread public health crisis in the United States with increasing
rates of addiction and overdose deaths from prescription opioids. Reducing the need for
opiate analgesics in the post-operative setting has become a high priority in minimizing
long-term opioid use in surgical patients. This study will serve to demonstrate the efficacy
of the addition of regional analgesic techniques in reducing post-operative opioid
requirements in patients undergoing common lumbar spinal surgical procedures.
