Interpectoral and Pectoserratus Plane Block vs. Local Anesthetic Infiltration for Partial Mastectomy: A Prospective Randomized Trial.
Patients undergoing breast surgery are at risk of severe postoperative pain. Several opioid-sparing strategies exist to alleviate this condition. Regional anesthesia has long been a part of perioperative pain management for these patients. ⋯ Our study showed decreased intraoperative opioid use in the IPP/PSP group and no difference in postoperative pain scores up to 24 hours. Both groups reported low postoperative pain scores. This trial is registered with NCT04824599.
