Summary
This is a randomized, interventional prospective study. Patients (n=66) undergoing
mastectomies with or without tissue expander will be randomized to receive a supra-serratus
or sub-serratus regional plane block prior to surgery. The main effect to be measured is
total opioid consumption 24 hours after the operation. Secondary endpoints include measuring
a change between pre-and post-operative pain scores, patient satisfaction of pain control
during first 24 hours after the operation, presence of postoperative nausea and vomiting,
duration of sleep on first postoperative night, and block performance time and length of
stay, between the two treatment arms.
