No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of the study is to determine the effectiveness of serratus place block in the control of post-operative pain following mastectomy. The investigators will compare one group of patients receiving serratus plane block and wound infiltration to a control group receiving a saline injection into serratus anterior and wound infiltration with local anaesthetic only. The investigators will compare our results to the National Mastectomy and Breast Reconstruction Audit's reported rate of 6.2% of patients reporting severe pain following mastectomy to see if there is an improvement of the national standard. In the serratus block group, the investigators expect a 50% decrease in the number of patients who report severe pain day one post operatively.
