Ultrasound Guided Rhomboid Intercostal and Subserratus Plane Block in Breast Cancer Surgeries

April 18, 2021 updated by: Betul Kozanhan, Konya Meram State Hospital
Postoperative analgesia after breast cancer surgery is a challenge for anesthesiologists due to the complex innervation of the breast. Interfascial plane blocks of the chest are gaining widespread popularity with the introduction of ultrasonography into the regional anesthesia practice. We aimed to investigate the efficacy of Rhomboid intercostal and subserratus plane block (RISS) for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing breast cancer surgery.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This prospective randomized controlled trial will be carried out on female patients who scheduled for breast cancer surgery. Our hypotesis is that this new interfascial plane block technique will able to provide postoperative analgesia in breast cancer surgery.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Group Rhomboid Intercostal and Subserratus Plane Block
In addition to routine standard perioperative and postoperative analgesic protocol participants will recieve Rhomboid Intercostal and Subserratus Plane Block under ultrasound guidence at the end of the surgery.
Local anesthetic will be injected in the tissue planes between the rhomboid and the intercostal muscles and the serratus anterior and external intercostal muscles with ultrasound guidence.
Other Names:
  • 40 mL of bupivacaine/lidocaine mixture
No Intervention: Control Group
Routine standard perioperative and postoperative analgesic protocol will be given.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Postoperative pain scores
Time Frame: The first 24 hours postoperatively
Postoperative pain will be assessed using a Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain).The NRS will be recorded in postoperative unit and in ward at first hour and at 2th, 6th, 12th and 24 th hour.
The first 24 hours postoperatively
