Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Patients are allocated randomly into two groups on the morning of surgery, using random numbers and sealed envelopes. general anaesthesia using propofol and sufentanil for induction, and sevoflurane In the treated group infiltration is performed with a ropivacaine 7.5 mg.ml-1 solution and in the control group with an isotonic saline solution. In the two groups patients are operated under general anesthesia with propofol, sufentanil, sevoflurane and nitrous oxide for maintenance. Twenty milliliters of the allocated solution are used at the end of the surgical procedure to infiltrate the subcutaneous and deep layers at the level of the breast and axilla surgical incision. Postoperatively, 8 tablets of paracetamol 500 mg were let at patient' disposal every 24 hours for 3 days. If pain control is not adequate patients receive 5 mg of subcutaneous morphine as a rescue.
Pain intensity is measured on a visual analogue scale graded from 0 to 100. Measurements are performed at rest and on operated arm abduction, at 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hour after the end of surgery. The value of maximum abduction angle is noted.
To evaluate quality of life patients are asked to score on a 4 points scale graded from 0 (the worst) to 3 (the best) the following items: sleep - fatigue - global activity - relationship with relatives - state of mood. A global score is attributed to each patient as the sum of categorical scores. Evaluation is performed at 24, 48 and 72 hour after the end of surgery.
Patients are evaluated at two month for residual pain at rest and on movement using a visual analogue scale and for quality of life as previously defined.

ropivacaine
treated group (ropivacaine infiltration)
infiltration with ropivacaine solution
Patients are allocated randomly into two arms on the morning of surgery, using random numbers and sealed envelopes. In the treated group infiltration is performed with a ropivacaine 7.5 mg.ml-1 solution and in the control group with an isotonic saline solution. In the two groups patients are operated under and nitrous oxide for maintenance. Dexamethasone 4 mg was given intravenously after anaesthetic induction for prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting. Twenty milliliters of the allocated solution were used at the end of the surgical procedure to infiltrate the subcutaneous and deep layers at the level of the breast and axilla surgical incision.
