Procedure: ESP BLOCK

Brief Summary

Backgroung:Regional anesthesia in breast surgery is of paramount importance to reduce pain in perioperative period.

PECS II block is an interfascial block that has been used widely as regional anesthesia technique in breast surgery.

ESP block is a novel interfascial block proposed in 2016 by Forero. Several reports used this technique in breast surgery to provide analgesia but to date no studies comparing these technique exists.

Our hypotesis is that this two technique are equally able to provide analgesia in breast surgery.

Study type: RCT, single blind.
