- Abstract
A letter to the editor of the European Spine Journal raises questions about a study conducted by Stewart et al. on the benefits of adding bilateral erector spinae plane blocks (ESPBs) to postoperative pain management after open lumbar laminectomy. The letter highlights concerns about the methodology and results of the study, including the use of standardized anesthetic and analgesic management, the assessment of postoperative pain levels, the achievement of pain control goals, and discrepancies in the reported results. The authors of the letter request clarification and responses from the original study authors.
