Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Postoperative pain is an important issue in female patients underwent breast surgery. Postoperative effective pain treatment provides early mobilization and shorter hospital stay. The US-guided erector spina plane block (ESPB) may be used for postoperative pain treatment following breast surgery. It is a relatively novel interfascial block that was defined by Forero et al. It has been reported that ESPB provides effective analgesia management for several breast surgeries.

- Group 30 = 30 ml of Erector spinae plane block group
- description
- In group 30 ml, ESPB will be performed with patients in the lateral decubitus position while the surgical site up. US probe will be placed 2-3 cm lateral to the T4 transvers process. The block needle will be inserted cranio-caudal direction and then for correction of the needle 5 ml saline will be injected deep into the erector spina muscle fascia. Following confirmation of the correct position of the needle 30 ml %0.25 bupivacaine will be administered for block.
