Bilateral reduction mammoplasty is one of the most commonly performed breast surgery. The Postoperative pain following it should be minimized. Opioid administration for acute pain after reduction mammoplasty surgery has many side effects. Regional block techniques such as paravertebral block and thoracic epidural anesthesia have possible complications and technical difficulties. The new alternative regional techniques such as erector spinae plane block and rhomboid intercostal plane block are clinical trials for providing a safe, easy, and painless anesthetic procedure with adequate postoperative analgesia for a large section of patients undergoing thoracic surgeries.
