Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • 30% decrease in VAS score on mobilization on the day of surgery

    Pain intensity was measured on a VAS graded from 0 to 100, on operated arm at maximum abduction, at 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hour after the end of surgery.

    patients will be followed during all the duration of hospital stay and 2 months after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • decrease in pain score at rest

    duration of hospitalisation and 2 month after surgery

  • decrease in analgesic rescue consumption

    during hospital stay

  • improvement in quality of life scoring

    during hospital stay

Study Arms (2)

ropivacaine

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

treated group (ropivacaine infiltration)

Procedure: infiltration with ropivacaine solution

placebo

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

placebo group : infiltration with saline solution

Procedure: infiltration with ropivacaine solution

Interventions

Patients are allocated randomly into two arms on the morning of surgery, using random numbers and sealed envelopes. In the treated group infiltration is performed with a ropivacaine 7.5 mg.ml-1 solution and in the control group with an isotonic saline solution. In the two groups patients are operated under and nitrous oxide for maintenance. Dexamethasone 4 mg was given intravenously after anaesthetic induction for prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting. Twenty milliliters of the allocated solution were used at the end of the surgical procedure to infiltrate the subcutaneous and deep layers at the level of the breast and axilla surgical incision.
