Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effects of superficial and deep serratus anterior plane blocks (SAPB) on opioid use and pain management in mastectomy patients.
- A total of 64 women participated, with some receiving deep SAPB and others receiving superficial SAPB, along with other pain relief methods.
- Results indicated that the deep SAPB group used 30% less oral morphine equivalents and reported lower pain scores, implying it may offer better postoperative pain relief than the superficial SAPB, although satisfaction and other factors were similar between the groups.
Feminizing genital gender affirmation surgery (fgGAS) is increasing in prevalence in the USA. Management of postoperative pain following fgGAS is challenging. We report a series of patients where post-fgGAS pain was adequately controlled with paraspinal blocks.
