Postoperative analgesia after breast cancer surgery is a challenge for anesthesiologists due to the complex innervation of the breast. Interfascial plane blocks of the chest are gaining widespread popularity with the introduction of ultrasonography into the regional anesthesia practice. We aimed to investigate the efficacy of Rhomboid intercostal and subserratus plane block (RISS) for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing breast cancer surgery.
This prospective randomized controlled trial will be carried out on female patients who scheduled for breast cancer surgery. Our hypotesis is that this new interfascial plane block technique will able to provide postoperative analgesia in breast cancer surgery.
