No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The investigators aim to compare the quality of pain relief provided by local infiltration analgesia delivered by surgeon and Pecs block delivered by anaesthetist under ultrasound guidance for patients undergoing mastectomy with axillary dissection.

Conditions

  • Mastectomy; Lymphedema
  • Local Infiltration
  • Anesthesia, Local
  • Block

Interventions

PROCEDURE

PECs Block

Regional Anaesthesia Technique ie Pectoralis Nerve Block under ultrasound guidance

PROCEDURE

Local infiltration

LIA will be performed by surgeon during the operation. The upper skin flap will be raised in the standard manner for mastectomy. The lateral border of the major pectoralis muscle will then be visualised. A volume of 10 ml ropivacaine 0.5% will be delivered between the inter-fascial planes of the pectoral muscles. The lower skin flap will then be raised in the standard manner for mastectomy and the breast is raised off the pectoralis muscle exposing the serratus anterior muscle. A volume of 20 ml ropivacaine 0.5% will be delivered between the muscle planes of the serratus anterior and pectoralis minor muscles.
