What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This study will investigate whether the serratus posterior superior intercostal plane (SPSIP) block improves postoperative recovery after breast cancer surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will receive an ultrasound-guided SPSIP block, while the other group will undergo a similar procedure without active medication (sham procedure). Both groups will receive standard general anesthesia and postoperative pain management. Postoperative pain intensity, need for additional pain medication, nausea and vomiting, length of hospital stay, and persistent pain at 3 months after surgery will be assessed. Blood samples collected before surgery and at predetermined postoperative time points will be used to evaluate the body's inflammatory response to surgery and innate immune system activity. These assessments will include toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), an im
