About this trial
Anterior cervical discectomy is an operation performed for complaints of pain, numbness or loss of strength due to cervical disc disease. With this operation, pressure due to herniation on the upper neck area, spinal cord or nerve roots is relieved. It is performed by microscopic method from the front of the neck.
Nerve blocks reduces opioid consumption in the postoperative period by providing better pain control and therefore has advantages such as fewer side effects and less risk of pulmonary and cardiac complications.
In this study; it was aimed to compare the analgesic effectiveness of serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block and erector spinae plane block, with each other and with the control group in the postoperative period in patients who underwent anterior cervical discectomy.
