Summary

Nowadays, the incidence of breast cancer is the first number of malignant tumors, and the primary treatment method is surgery.With the development of medical technology and concept, radical mastectomy combined breast reconstruction are becoming more and more popular.But the reconstruction caused greater trauma and more severe postoperative pain.ESPB is a new nerve block method which thought to reduce pain after thoracic and breast surgery.However, there are few studies on radical mastectomy combined breast reconstruction. So, this randomized controlled study is conducted to explore its impact on postoperative pain and thus provide more data guidance for clinical.

Conditions

  • Mammary Cancer
  • Erector Spinae Plane Block
  • Postoperative Pain

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Erector spinae plane block

In the ESPB group, the patients were placed in the lateral decubitus position. The ultrasound probe was located in longitudinal orientation at the level of the T4 spinous process and then placed 3 cm laterally from the midline to the side involved in the surgery. The ultrasound landmarks, T4 transverse process, and the overlying trapezius, rhomboideus, and erector spinae muscles, were identified. Under aseptic conditions, an 80-mm 21-gauge block needle was inserted in-plane at an angle of 30-40° in the cranial-to-caudal direction until the tip contacted the T4 transverse process.After the hydrodissection with 2-3 mL of isotonic saline solution confirmed the correct needle tip position, the intermixture was injected in the interfascial plane between rhomboideus major and erector spinae muscle. Local anesthetic spread in a fascial longitudinal pattern deep to the erector spinae muscle was visualized using ultrasound guidance.
