Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
Erector Spinae plane Block (ESPB) is a newer block that has been successfully used for
many surgeries involving chest wall and is also useful for pain relief in rib fractures
Its success in MRM has been documented
For Radical surgeries like MRM, it is simple and convenient to administer blocks away from
the surgical site. Serratus Anterior plane block (SAPB) is a relatively newer block which was primarily used
for management of pain from rib fractures, there is potential for its use in MRM as an
alternate when it is difficult to administer ESP block as the anterior branch of intercostal
nerves lie under the serratus anterior muscle
We plan to compare the analgesic efficacy of ESP with SAB , to determine the superiority of
either , and the compare the ease of administration of the block.
