In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This study aims to evaluate and compare the analgesic efficacy of two ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia techniques, the serratus anterior plane (SAP) block and the serratus posterior superior intercostal plane (SPSIP) block, in patients undergoing elective mastectomy surgery. Postoperative pain following mastectomy is a common and significant clinical problem that negatively affects patient comfort, delays mobilization, and may prolong hospital stay. Although systemic analgesics are commonly used, they are associated with adverse effects such as sedation, constipation, and potential dependency. In this randomized clinical study, female patients aged 18-75 years with ASA physical status I-III scheduled for elective mastectomy will be included after obtaining informed consent. Patients will be allocated into two groups to receive either SAP block or SPSIP block under ultrasound guidan
