Comparative Sensory Mapping of Regional Anesthesia Techniques in Breast Cancer Surgery

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Various regional anesthesia techniques, either individually or in combination, can be utilized for analgesia in breast cancer surgery. This study aims to map the cutaneous sensory block areas of different regional anesthesia techniques (serratus anterior plane block, parasternal block, and interpectoral + pectoserratus plane block) applied to patients undergoing breast cancer surgery. Furthermore, the extent to which these blocks cover the modified radical mastectomy incision will be assessed. The study seeks to comparatively determine the minimum and maximum sensory spread of each block. Ultimately, the findings are intended to provide valuable data for developing tailored perioperative pain management strategies specific to the surgical procedure and individual patient needs.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Group Serratus Anterior Plane Block

Patients will receive a serratus anterior plane block preoperatively under ultrasound guidance. Thirty minutes after the block, the cutaneous sensory area will be assessed using a pinprick test and outlined on the skin using a UV marker. Subsequently, the incision line for the modified radical mastectomy (MRM) will be marked by the operating surgeon. The resulting drawings will be documented and transferred to a digital template for analysis.

OTHER

Group Parasternal Block

Patients will receive a parasternal block preoperatively under ultrasound guidance. Thirty minutes after the block, the cutaneous sensory area will be assessed using a pinprick test and outlined on the skin using a UV marker. Subsequently, the incision line for the modified radical mastectomy (MRM) will be marked by the operating surgeon. The resulting drawings will be documented and transferred to a digital template for analysis.

OTHER

Group Interpectoral+Pectoserratus Plane Block

Patients will receive an interpectoral + pectoserratus plane block preoperatively under ultrasound guidance. Thirty minutes after the block, the cutaneous sensory area will be assessed using a pinprick test and outlined on the skin using a UV marker. Subsequently, the incision line for the modified radical mastectomy (MRM) will be marked by the operating surgeon. The resulting drawings will be documented and transferred to a digital template for analysis.
