Summary
After surgery for breast cancer, the prevalence of chronic pain is estimated between 20 and
68%. They begin after surgery and may persist until more than 6 months. They respond poorly
to opioid analgesics impair the quality of life.
Among the different postoperative analgesic techniques used, the use of a local anesthetic
infiltration continues catheter has advantages including improving the quality of analgesia,
with a significant decrease in average of VAS (scale visual Analogue), a decrease in morphine
consumption, improving the quality of life of patients.
Our study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a continuous local anesthetic infiltration in
the control of postoperative pain after mastectomy.
