Brief summary

the aim of the study compare the analgesic effect of erector spinae block and serratus anterior block in breast surgery

Detailed description

Breast reduction surgery is a common cosmetic surgical procedure. Providing effective analgesia has a crucial role in reducing side effects, catalyzing postoperative recovery, and increasing patient satisfaction. Regional anesthesia techniques are generally used for postoperative analgesia to decrease opioid-related side effects. Fascial plane block has gained popularity for breast analgesia. The investigator aimed to consider the effects of ESP block or Serratus Anterior Plane block on postoperative analgesia in breast reduction surgery.

Interventions

PROCEDUREerector spine plane (ESP) block

Bilateral ultrasound guided erector spine plane (ESP) block will be performe preoperatively at T5 level. 20 mL local anesthetics (10 mL 0.5% bupivacaine + 10 mL serum physiologic % l) will be injected deep to the erector spinae muscle.

PROCEDURESerratus Anterior Plane Block

Bilateral ultrasound guided serratus plane block with 20 ml %0,25 bupivacaine at the midaxillary 5. Rib
