Brief Summary

This prospective, double-blinded randomized controlled trial aims to compare the efficacy of the serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) ultrasound guided versus anatomical landmark guided for gynecomastia surgery. And to detect if the anatomical landmark technique is inferior or not to the ultrasound guided technique. We hypothesize that anatomical landmark guided SAPB is not inferior to ultrasound guided SAPB.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • visual analouge score (VAS)

    11 point scale, 0 means no pain, 10 means worst pain.

    the first hour, postoperative

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • first call of analgesia

    in the first 24 hours

Study Arms (1)

ultrasound vs anatomical landmark SAPB

Forty subjects presenting for gynecomastia surgery will receive ultrasound guided block in one side (US group) and landmark guided block in the other side (LM group) with the same volume (25) ml and concentration (0.25 %) of bupivacaine.

Other: Serratus anterior plane block
