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.
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.

evaluation of the efficacy of two different plan blocks for postoperative analgesia
Istanbul Professor Doctor Süleyman Yalçın City Hospital
Istanbul, Turkey (Türkiye)
Evaluation of analgesic efficacy of postoperative plan blocks with numerical pain score (NRS)
Evaluation 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 30. minutes, 1. hour, 4. hours, 8. hours, 12. hours and 24. hours. A lower numeric pain scale indicates a lower level of pain.
Time frame: within 24 hours postoperative
Comparison of tramadol(mg) consumption
Using 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..
Time frame: within 24 hours postoperative
perioperative remifentanil consumption
The amounts (mcg) of remifantanil consumed during the surgical procedure will be compared
Time frame: perioperative
rescue anesthesia
In the postoperative 24-hour period, tenoxicam will be administered and recorded as rescue analgesia to patients who feel pain despite patient-controlled nalgesia (tramadol).
Time frame: within 24 hours postoperative
postoperative nausea-vomiting (PONV)
The 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.
Time frame: within 24 hours postoperative
surgeon and patient satisfaction (5-point Likert scale)
At postoperative discharge, 5-point Likert satisfaction questionnaire will be administered to the surgeon and the patient. A high numerical value on a five-point Likert satisfaction scale indicates that the surgeon and the patient are satisfied with the procedure performed.
