About this trial

This prospective randomized double-blind controlled trial aims to compare the postoperative analgesic efficacy and dermatomal spread of rhomboid intercostal-subserratus plane (RISS) block and serratus posterior superior intercostal plane (SPSIP) block in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy. Postoperative pain scores, opioid consumption, rescue analgesic requirements, block-related complications, and quality of recovery outcomes will be evaluated.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Total Postoperative Opioid Consumption

Total opioid consumption during the first 24 hours after modified radical mastectomy.

Time frame
24 hours after surgery

Secondary outcomes

1

Postoperative Pain Scores

Postoperative pain intensity measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst imaginable pain. Higher scores indicate worse pain.

Time frame
0-24 hours after surgery
2

Compartmental Pain Scores Using Numeric Rating Scale

Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) score (0-10 points) measured separately for axillary pain, anterolateral chest wall pain, and surgical drain insertion site pain. A score of 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst imaginable pain. Higher scores indicate greater pain intensity.

Time frame
0-24 hours after surgery
3

Dermatomal Sensory Block Distribution

Number of dermatomes blocked, assessed by pinprick sensory testing 30 minutes after block performance. Higher values indicate wider sensory block distribution.

Time frame
30 minutes after block performance
4

Quality of Recovery-15 Score

Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) questionnaire score ranging from 0 to 150, where higher scores indicate better postoperative recovery and patient satisfaction.

Time frame
24 hours after surgery
