Evaluating The Efficacy Of Pecs II Blockade Compared To Local Anesthetic Infiltration In Controlling Postoperative Pain In Patients Undergoing Oncologic Breast Surgery Under Opioid Free/Sparing Anesthesia.

In the PEC group, the PECS II block will be performed by the same anesthesiologist and will be performed before the skin incision, using the technique described by Blanco at al, 2012. 10 ml of ropivacaine solution (0.3%) will be administered into the fascia between the pectoralis major and pectoralis minor muscles and 20 ml of the same anesthetic solution between the pectoralis minor and serratus muscles.

In the LOC group, local infiltration will be carried out by the surgeon before the surgical incision. Adrenaline 1:20000 will be added to the anesthetic solution in the LOC group for the surgeon's convenience in order to better control per operative bleeding. In the PEC group, a solution of adrenaline in the same concentration in 0.9% saline will be infiltrated, also just to control bleeding in the surgical field.
