Line 1: lateral thoracolumbar interfascial plane block.
Line 31: bilateral single-shot US-TLIP.
Does saline injection in the control group increase postoperative pain in patients?

Why does nerve block occur after general anesthesia?
How to evaluate the effect of nerve block under general anesthesia in patients?
The language need to be proficiently edited. Not enough information about the research background as well as many repetitions of the same ideas.
Methods are not clear. primary & secondary end points wasn't mentioned.
Many assumptions in the discussion weren't supported from the current results or previous studies
- The number of patients enrolled is inconsistent. Why is there difference between number of patients enrolled under the patients & methods vs under the results?
-line 76 the block is for ventral rami of spinal nerves, line 155 the block is for dorsal rami
- A detailed anatomy and sono-anatomy of the area to be blocked should be elaborated
- line 157, you mentioned that the perioperative opioid/propofol requirement are reduced. In a research examining the analgesic efficacy of an intervention, a more detailed information about the exact timing (pre, intra and postoperative), the degree of ….etc opioid requirements.
-Furthermore; no comment whatsoever on whether there’re complications related to opioids, Local anesthetics or the regional technique.
- what kind of spinal surgery enrolled patient underwent?
- please be advised to revise how to write a manuscript discussion. And rewrite the discussion again.

I am glad to see your paper. Your paper was postoperative analgesic efficacy of lateral TLIP block. TLIP block was one of the most attention nerve block to now, I am very interested in the TLIP block.
Although your paper was mentioned the prospective study for the first time, it was wrong (PMID: 29318534). Therefore, it was not novelty. I recommended you to mention clearly why the paper was important.
Best regards.
