| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To investigate the effect on pain relief, after installation of ropivacaine with adrenaline in unilateral mastectomy with or without axillary lymph node dissection, at the end of the operation. The effect is rated via VAS-score (Visual Analogue Scale) an modified VAS-score ;Secondary Objective: Secondary to evaluate the effect on PONV (Postoperative nausea and vomiting), postoperative use of analgesia and antiemetic, length of hospital stay and time till first mobilisation.;Primary end point(s): Visuel analog score;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 24 houres after installation of the IMP | — |
