Summary
Aim of this study is to determine the success of combined serratus anterior and PECS-2 block as the main anesthetic method in breast cancer surgery and also to investigate the patient acceptability of this combination and its relationship with surgeon satisfaction.
Description
Breast conserving surgery or mastectomy is applied in the surgical treatment of breast cancer. Axillary interventions range from sentinal lymph node biopsy to lymph node dissection. Clinically significant acute pain develops following breast surgery in 35% of patients.
Today, regional anesthesia is widely used as an opioid-sparing strategy in the treatment of acute postoperative pain. New fascial plane blocks have been developed as alternative or complementary techniques for chest wall analgesia, including pectoral nerve blocks (PECS1-2) and serratus plane block.
In order to reduce the risk of perioperative morbidity and mortality and to meet the patient demand, the demand for awake surgery is increasing in institutions.
Therefore, a prospective observational case series was conducted to explain the efficacy, patient acceptability, and surgeon satisfaction of combined serratus anterior and PECS-2 block as the main anesthetic method for breast cancer surgery.
