Ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block compared to modified pectoral plane block for modified radical mastectomy operations

Analgesic efficacy of ultrasound-guided paravertebral block versus serratus plane block for modified radical mastectomy: A randomised, controlled trial

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Modified radical mastectomy (MRM) may be associated with severe post-operative pain, leading to chronic pain syndrome. We compared the post-operative analgesic profile of two ultrasound-guided nerve blocks: Paravertebral block (PVB) and serratus plane block (SPB). METHODS This double-blind, randomised study was conducted on fifty adult females, scheduled for MRM with axill...

General anesthesia with thoracic paravertebral block for modified radical mastectomy.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of single-injection paravertebral block (PVB) combined with general anesthesia on 24-hour postoperative morphine requirement in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy (MRM). MATERIAL AND METHOD 20 patients were randomly assigned into 2 groups. Patients in the control group were given only general anesthesia. Patients in the PVB group received 0.3 ml/k...

Erector spinae plane (ESP) block in the management of post thoracotomy pain syndrome: A case series.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Post thoracotomy pain syndrome (PTPS) remains a common complication of thoracic surgery with significant impact on patients' quality of life. Management usually involves a multidisciplinary approach that includes oral and topical analgesics, performing appropriate interventional techniques, and coordinating additional care such as physiotherapy, psychotherapy and rehabilitat...
