Summary
Since the first spinal fusion by Hibbs 1911, yet anesthesia for correction of scoliosis is
challenging due to frequently associated co-morbidities, the extensive nature of surgery and
liability for many complications. Among the major concerns for anesthesiologists are the pain
and bleeding. Scoliosis correction accounts for massive blood loss that may exceed more than
half of blood volume. There are many strategies for blood conservation; however sometimes
some of them may not be suitable. For analgesia, the most frequently loco regional analgesic
techniques in spine surgery are intrathecal, epidural or local infiltration techniques.
infiltration data reviled inconclusive and heterogeneous results. Our purpose is to optimize
blood conservation and analgesia through anatomically based modification of the infiltration
technique.
