About this trial
Lumbar instrumentation surgery is associated with significant postoperative pain. This study evaluates the analgesic effectiveness of the ultrasound-guided Quadro-Iliac Plane Block in patients undergoing lumbar instrumentation surgery, aiming to assess the efficacy of this newly developed technique for postoperative pain management.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Postoperative 48-Hour PCA Opioid Consumption
Total amount of opioid delivered by the patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) device during the first 48 hours after surgery, recorded in milligrams (mg).
QoR-15 Recovery Score
The investigators will use the Turkish version of Quality of Recovery (QoR) / QoR-15 questionairre PART A How have you been feeling in the last 24 hours? (0 to 10, where: 0 = none of the time \[poor\] and 10 = all of the time \[excellent\]) Able to breathe easily Been able to enjoy food Feeling rested Have had a good sleep Able to look after personal toilet and hygiene unaided Able to communicate with Getting support from hospital doctors and nurses Able to return to work or usual home activities Feeling comfortable and in control Having a feeling of general well-being PART B Have you had any of the following in the last 24 hours? (10 to 0, where: 10 = none of the time \[excellent\] and 0 = all of the time \[poor\]) Moderate pain Severe pain Nausea or vomiting Feeling worried or anxious Feeling sad or depressed
Secondary outcomes
Dynamic and static NRS scores
Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) (0-10) pain scores at rest or movement at predefined postoperative hours
Total rescue analgesic dose
Despite the use of patient-controlled analgesia (PCA), if the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) score is ≥4 at any time point, 0.5 mg/kg intravenous meperidine will be administered as rescue analgesia. Total amount of meperidin during the first 24 and 48 hours after surgery, recorded in milligrams (mg).
Time of first request for rescue analgesia
Despite the use of patient-controlled analgesia (PCA), if the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) score is ≥4 at any time point, 0.5 mg/kg intravenous meperidine will be administered as rescue analgesia.
Length of Hospital Stay
Length of hospital stay will be defined as the number of days from the end of surgery to hospital discharge.
