Aim: Interfascial plane blocks (IFPB) can be used as part of multimodal analgesia in the postoperative period. The analgesic efficacy in the postoperative period of IFPB may increase the satisfaction of patients and surgeons. Survey studies have been used for many years in anesthesiology research. In this survey study, we aimed to investigate the satisfaction level of the surgical team. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out between 1 May 2023 and 31 May 2023. Our survey was sent to 450 practitioners via telephone or email, and responses received within 30 days were included in the study. Twenty seven practitioners had not completed the questionnaire. Results: 423 answers from practitioners were considered to be valid responses. Participants were asked knowledge about IFPB, and answering as follows: 393 have heard about IFPB (92,9%). 360 participants reported that the IFPB, procedure reduced postoperative analgesic consumption (85,1%). 338 participants reported that the IFPB, procedure contributed to their patient follow-ups (80%). Conclusion: Our results show that the satisfaction level of the surgical team is high and the surgeons request from anesthesia to perform IFPB for their patients who underwent surgery.
