Eligibility

Female

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Female patients Type of surgery; Modified Radical Mastectomy MRM Physical status: ASA I and ASA II. Age = 35 and = 60 Years in order to standardize doses of anesthetics and decrease age group difference in responses. Body mass index (BMI): = 20 kg/m2 and = 35 kg/m2.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Patient refusal Known sensitivity or contraindication to drugs used in the study (local anesthetics, opioids). History of psychological disorders and/or chronic pain syndrome. Contraindication to regional anesthesia e.g. local sepsis, pre-existing peripheral neuropathies, coagulopathy and clinical skin infiltration by the tumor. Severe respiratory e.g. (sever obstructive pulmonary disease (forced expiratory volume /forced vital capacity FEV1/FVC <50% or sever restrictive pulmonary disease (total lung capacity TLC<40%), adult respiratory distress syndrome) or sever cardiac disorders e.g. (heart failure). (Martinez-Pitre, Sabbula and Cascella, 2021) Advanced liver disease (Elevated liver enzymes more than 3 folds of normal range). Advanced kidney disease (Decreased creatinine clearance <40 ml/min). (Stevens et al., 2006) Pregnancy.
