We aimed to assess the efficacy of multimodal epidural analgesia in decreasing postoperative pain after microdiscectomy. Fourty patients, ASA physical status I or II, undergoing microsurgical lumbar discectomy were enrolled in this prospective, randomised, controlled, double-blinded study. 10 ml study solution consisting of 2 mg of morphine, 15 mg of bupivacaine, 80 mg of methylprednisolone, and 0.05 mg of adrenaline was prepared for epidural administration. At the end of the procedure but prior to wound closure, the surgeon inserted an 18-gauge epidural catheter into the epidural space. After closure of incision, patients were assigned to receive either study solution (Group E) or saline (Group C). The epidural catheter was then removed. Patient controlled analgesia with morphine was used for postoperative analgesia. Visual Anologue Scale (VAS) pain scores and morphine consumptions were lower in Group E. Time to first ambulation was shorter in Group E. Patients in Group E were more satisfied with their analgesic regimen. Single dose multimodal epidural analgesia administered after wound closure provided better postoperative analgesia after lumbar microdiscectomy.
