Modified Radical Mastectomy

The aim of researchers is to compare the effects of three different local anesthetic concentrations and volumes on opioid consumption, postoperative analgesic efficacy, and pain scores during ultrasound-guided SPSIP blocks in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy. Additionally, we aim to map and identify the dermatomal areas where different concentrations and volumes of SPSIP blocks provide analgesia.

This prospective randomized controlled double blinded non-inferiority study will be carried out in Tanta University Hospitals for duration of 6 months from June 2026 to December 2026 on 60 female patients scheduled for unilatral modified radical mastectomy under general anesthesia.

Here, in our study, we intend to compare the analgesic efficacy of magnesium sulfate as an adjuvant to local anesthetics added to the Pecto-Intercostal Fascial Block (PIFB) vs the Serratus Anterior Plane Block (SAPB) in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy. Study Endpoints Primary Endpoints: Total intravenous opioid consumption during the first 24 hours following surgery. Secondary Endpoints: Postoperative analgesia, 24 hours after surgery, assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and time to first analgesic request.

This study aims to compare the costotransverse foramen block with erector spinae plane block in modified radical mastectomy.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare Ultrasound Guided Erector Spinae and Ultrasound Guided Serratus Anterior Plane Block post Modified Radical Mastectomy in adult females. the main questions it aims to answer are: * Which of the two blocks has a better analgesic effect? * Which of the two blocks is safer as regards inducing a pneumothorax and affecting the hemodynamics? Participants: * Will be divided into two groups after signing the informed consent. * After being anesthetized and before surgical incision; the blocks will be given to the patient. * Lung Ultrasound will be done for each patient to rule out pnemothorax once before the surgery and another after the end of surgery while the patient is being anesthetized. * Patients that will experience pneuomothorax will be excluded from the study, and will be treated according to its size. * Follow up of the patient for 24 hours postoperative to record the VAS score continuously, with giving increments of pethidine intravenously to relief pain.
