This study aims to compare the efficacy of the ESP and SPSIP blocks in managing postoperative pain following breast surgery. Breast surgery, particularly after oncological and reconstructive procedures, often leads to significant postoperative pain. Effective pain control is crucial for accelerating recovery, reducing the risk of complications, and facilitating early discharge. Both ESP and SPSIP blocks involve the administration of local anesthetics into fascial plane spaces to achieve peripheral nerve blockade and control pain. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of these blocks in terms of pain scores, opioid consumption, and overall patient satisfaction to determine the optimal approach for postoperative pain management in breast surgery.
