Summary
Both serratus plane and erector spinae fascial plane blocks are described to produce local
anesthetic spread to the nerves innervating the axilla. Investigators think that the serratus
plane block is more reliable for blocking axillary innervation. Investigators hypothesized
that the serratus plane block provides superior postoperative analgesia for breast surgery
involving the axilla.
