Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal anesthetic routine for lumbar
decompression surgery. General Anesthesia is the standard of care in spine surgery. Spinal
anesthesia in decompressive procedures can be the new standard of care. Recently, it has been
found that regional analgesia is option that has been shown to improve pain and
opioid-related outcomes after spine surgery, but has not yet been studied in combination with
spinal anesthesia. This is study that consists of two groups: standard of care general
anesthesia with a nerve block and a spinal anesthesia with nerve block. Patients are
randomized to either of the two groups. There will be 71 patients enrolled in each group for
this study.
