Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Post operative pain

    Postoperative pain score at rest Pain score using a verbal numerical scale (0-10) in one breast (bupivacaine) compared to the other breast (placebo).

    1year

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Patient's quality of life

    1 year

Study Arms (2)

PECs block group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Female undergone mastectomy and received pectoral nerve block

Procedure: PECs block during mastectomy

Non PECs block group

SHAM COMPARATOR

Female undergone mastectomy and not received pectoral nerve block but have received conventional analgesic methods

Procedure: Sham block

Interventions

The patients were randomised to receive a PECS block consisting of 30 ml of levobupivacaine 0.25% after induction of anaesthesia (PECS group) or a saline mock block (control group). The patients answered a 40-item QoR questionnaire (QoR-40) before and 1 day after breast cancer surgery. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES

Also known as: PECs nerve injection
PECs block group
Sham blockPROCEDURE

Female undergone mastectomy and have received conventional analgesic methods

Also known as: Non PECs block
Non PECs block group

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 75 Years
Sexfemale
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • all female planed for elective breast surgery

You may not qualify if:

  • Planned for bilateral axillary or bilateral reconstruction surgery.
  • Previous surgery on the surgical breast and/or axilla with the exception of partial mastectomy or sentinel lymph node biopsy Pre-existing pain in the axilla affecting the ability to use extremity for activities of daily living or requiring medication for treatment.
  • Current or past medical history of liver disease or cirrhosis with an elevated INR \>1.4 or currently elevated transaminase levels.
  • known contraindications to peripheral nerve block placement.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition
  • Planned additional surgery to the surgical breast or axilla in the next year (exception would be minor surgery to breast but not axilla such as simple tissue expander replacement or lumpectomy).
