Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the study is to compare the effectiveness of the Erector spinae plane (ESP) block versus thoracic paravertebral (TPV) block in the post-operative pain control after radical mastectomy.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Primary outcome of our study is to compare the effectiveness of two regional anesthesia techniques, ESP block and TPV block, in the post-operative pain-control after radical mastectomy.

We will also evaluate both intra and post-operative opioid consumption, the incidence of PONV, the length of hospital stay, patient satisfaction with the anesthesiology technique and the incidence of chronic pain 6 months after surgery.
