NCT03942003

Brief Summary

Breast surgery is a common surgical procedure because of the prevalence of breast cancer. Postoperative analgesia management in breast surgery is difficult due to the content of the surgical procedure and the complex innervation of the breast. Multimodal approach is recommended for postoperative analgesia. Therefore, various methods are used. There was no comparison of these two blocks to control group in the literature. In this study, the investigators planned to investigate the postoperative pain, analgesic usage dose and side effects of patients undergoing breast surgery under general anesthesia with a rhomboid area block, pectoral area block.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Postoperative analgesic consumption

    Postoperative analgesic needs of patients will be recorded in the patient-controlled analgesia device. Postoperative pain, digital evaluation scale (NRS-numeric rating scale; 0 = absence of pain, 10 = unbearable pain) of all patients will be recorded.

    at first 24 hour of postoperative period

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Sleep quality: NRS

    at first morning after operation day

Study Arms (3)

Rhomboid

EXPERIMENTAL

When applying the Rhomboid nerve block, the patient is tilted to the side position so that the corresponding breast is at the top. After T7 up to T10 sterile preparation of the C7 spinous projection, the convex probe shows a rhomboid muscle at the level of T5 and block is applied with 0.25% bupivacaine (20 cc), 2% lidocaine (10 cc) and 10 cc SF mixture.

Procedure: rhomboid blocks

Pectoral

EXPERIMENTAL

The PEC I field block is performed by administering 10 cc of local anesthetic between the pectoralis minor and the major at the 2nd costal position. PEC II field block is performed using linear USG probe visibly in 3rd and 4th ribs while the patient is in supine position. In this block, a total of 20 cc 0.25% bupivacaine (10 cc), 2% lidocaine (5 cc) and 5 cc SF mixture were used to block the area between the pectoralis minor muscle and the serratus muscle

Procedure: PEC blocks
