Brief summary

The application of regional anaesthetic procedures in breast surgery is associated with a lower incidence of chronic pain, reduced morbidity, shorter hospital stay and less opioid requirement. Therefore, we aimed to compared the postoperative analgesic efficacy of Serratus Anterior Plan Block and Serratus Posterior Superior Intercostal Plan Block in breast surgery.

Detailed description

Breast surgery is one of the most common operations performed by General Surgery and may be associated with acute postoperative pain. Acute postoperative pain is an independent risk factor for the development of chronic pain after mastectomy. Various regional anaesthetic procedures have been tried to achieve better acute pain control and thus less chronic pain. The use of regional anaesthetic procedures in breast surgery is associated with a lower incidence of chronic pain, reduced morbidity, shorter hospital stay and less opioid requirement. Interfascial plane blocks have become popular because they are easy to perform and safe. Since interfascial plan blocks are based on the injection of local anaesthetic between two fasciae, the complication rate such as nerve damage is very low. With this method, effective analgesia can be provided in various areas such as abdominal, thoracic and lumbar regions while reducing opioid consumption and avoiding neuraxial methods. In randomised controlled trials investigating the efficacy of Serratus Anterior Plane Block for postoperative analgesia management after breast surgery, adequate analgesia was reported. Serratus posterior superior intercostal plan block, a newly defined interfascial plan block, has been shown to provide a wide sensory blockade between intercostal muscles. Postoperative analgesic efficacy has been demonstrated in thoracic, breast and shoulder surgeries. The aim of our study was to compared the postoperative analgesic efficacy of Serratus Anterior Plan Block and Serratus Posterior Superior Intercostal Plan Block in breast surgery.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Evaluation of analgesic efficacy of postoperative plan blocks with numerical pain score (NRS)within 24 hours postoperativeEvaluation of which of the two plan blocks is more effective in postoperative analgesia. Postoperative pain scores will be evaluated with a numerical pain score. Evaluation will be performed postoperatively at 1. hour, 4. hours, 8. hours, 12. hours and 24. hours. A lower numeric pain scale indicates a lower level of pain.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Comparison of tramadol(mg) consumptionwithin 24 hours postoperativeUsing a patient-controlled analgesia device, tramadol consumption and total tramadol consumption will be compared between 0-1st hour, 1st-4th hour, 4th-8th hour, 8th-12th hour, 12th-24th hour postoperatively..
perioperative remifentanil consumptionperioperativeThe amounts (mcg) of remifantanil consumed during the surgical procedure will be compared
rescue anesthesiawithin 24 hours postoperativeIn the postoperative 24-hour period, tenoxicam will be administered and recorded as rescue analgesia to patients who feel pain despite patient-controlled nalgesia (tramadol).
postoperative nausea-vomiting (PONV)within 24 hours postoperativeThe number of times of nausea and vomiting in the postoperative period will be recorded and compared in both patient groups. A lower numerical value of postoperative nausea-vomiting indicates better patient comfort in the postoperative period.
patient satisfaction (5-point Likert scale)24 hours after surgeryAt postoperative discharge, 5-point Likert satisfaction questionnaire will be administered to the patient. A high numerical value on a five-point Likert satisfaction scale indicates that the patient are satisfied with the procedure performed.
