Summary

Post mastectomy pain management is of crucial importance for patients' rehabilitation and quality of life. PECS block is used for acute and chronic post mastectomy pain management. Surgical infiltration is also used in this field. Patients in our study are divided in two groups receiving PECS block or surgical infiltrationbefore incision. Multimodal analgesia is indispensable according to recent guidelines for enhanced postoperative recovery. Pain scores will be assessed during the first 24h postoperatively and at 3 months after surgery.

Conditions

  • Immediate and Chronic Pain After Mastectomy Managed With PECS Block or Local Infiltration
