title: [Pain therapy after spinal surgery].
abstract: A dorsal approach during spinal surgery offers the possibility to distribute drugs directly to the nerve root or epidurally. This can be done via a single intraoperative dose or by placing an epidural catheter. A safe and effective analgesia can thereby be achieved. As placement is done under visual control, no major complications are to be expected. In nerve root compressions, additional local application of steroids and preoperative gabapentin seems sensible. No advantage of preemptive administration of other analgesics can be determined. Another problem, especially of ventral fusions, is the commonly needed autologous pelvic bone grafts. Here the local application of local anesthetics or opioids makes sense. In transthoracic approaches epidural analgesia is recommended by thoracic surgeons, but this is difficult to perform especially in children with deformities. Furthermore it is generally important not to compromise neuralgic controls by analgesic measures.
