Abstract

Acute post-operative pain following modified radical mastectomy (MRM) in patients with breast cancer is challenging for anesthesiologists. This study aimed to prospectively compare the quality outcome of interfascial plane blocks performed with ultrasound guidance, and evaluate the consequences of sharing tasks with the breast surgeon.
