Presumed benefits of erector spinae plane blocks (ESPB) include an enhanced safety profile and few complications. There are few large series, which report the incidence of complications associated with ESPB on a procedure-specific basis. The objective of this retrospective cohort study was to estimate the incidence of complications of ESPB in a large series of patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery.
