Aim of this study is to determine the success of combined serratus anterior and PECS-2 block as the main anesthetic method in breast cancer surgery and also to investigate the patient acceptability of this combination and its relationship with surgeon satisfaction.
Breast conserving surgery or mastectomy is applied in the surgical treatment of breast cancer. Axillary interventions range from sentinal lymph node biopsy to lymph node dissection. Clinically significant acute pain develops following breast surgery in 35% of patients.
Today, regional anesthesia is widely used as an opioid-sparing strategy in the treatment of acute postoperative pain. New fascial plane blocks have been developed as alternative or complementary techniques for chest wall analgesia, including pectoral nerve blocks (PECS1-2) and serratus plane block.
In order to reduce the risk of perioperative morbidity and mortality and to meet the patient demand, the demand for awake surgery is increasing in institutions.
Therefore, a prospective observational case series was conducted to explain the efficacy, patient acceptability, and surgeon satisfaction of combined serratus anterior and PECS-2 block as the main anesthetic method for breast cancer surgery.

| serratus anterior block and PECs II block combination | Other | The pre-surgery block will be applied. Sensorial block will be evaluated at the surgical incision site with the pinpirick test at 30 minutes after the block, and if the block is successful, surgery will begin. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Sufficient surgical anesthesia | After confirming the sensory block in the surgical area with the post-procedure pinpirick test, successful completion of the surgical procedure 'without the need for deep sedoanalgesia' will be considered 'sufficient surgical anesthesia'. | up to 30 minutes |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Pain scores on the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) | Changes in Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) at rest and on movement will be recorded at intervals. NRS is a unidimensional measure of pain intensity in adults. The NRS is a segmented numeric version of the visual analog scale (VAS) in which a respondent selects a whole number (0-10 integers) that best reflects the intensity of his/her pain. The 11-point numeric scale ranges from '0' representing one pain extreme (e.g. "no pain") to '10' representing the other pain extreme (e.g. "pain as bad as you can imagine" or "worst pain imaginable"). |
