Summary
Posterior thoracolumbar operation always chooses general anesthesia. Due to surgical trauma
and rich periosteum and joint capsule innervation, patients after general anesthesia
immediately feel acute pain.The use of appropriate postoperative analgesia in patients with
thoracolumbar surgery is beneficial to postoperative recovery. Infusions of local anaesthetic
via multilumen catheters that deliver directly to wound sites have been used for
postoperative analgesia in procedures. Reducing the morbidity from both pain and nausea will
make the mode of analgesia a better tolerated and more palatable option for patients. The aim
of this study is to examine the effects of using local anaesthetic infusion catheters
following posterior thoracolumbar surgery, and compares the outcomes of patients managed
using intravenous analgesia pump infusion of systemic opioids.
