Comparator Agent  Erector spinae block using 0.2% ropivacaine 25cc  Postoperative analgesia for breast surgeries Patient in sitting position see right lateral tip of T4 transverse process high frequency linear probe positioned in transverse orientation locate 3 muscles trapezius,rhomboid major,erector spinae Block needle placed cephalo caudal orientation to contact transverse process after 2ml 2% lignocaine injected Dose of 25ml of 0.2% ropivacaine given linear spread that lifted the erector spinae muscle off the underlying transverse process and inter coastal muscles suggested right location 
Intervention  Pectoral nerve block using 0.2% ropivacaine 25cc   For analgesia in Breast surgeries 0.2%ropivacaine 25ml Patient in supine with arm abducted on side of operation Axillary artery an vein located using ultrasound Needle placed obliquely until tip seen between serratus anterior and pectoralis minor 15 ml 0.2% ropivacaine deposited After needle removed till tip between pectoralis major and minor 10ml 0.2% ropivacaine deposited Monitor for 30min pinprick sensation to measure the block.

Brief Summary   Achieving adequate perioperative analgesia can be challenging in patients undergoing breast surgeries.
Earlier THORACIC EPIDURAL and PARAVERTEBRAL BLOCK were considered gold standard analgesic techniques till date. These techniques may be associated with problems like pneumothorax, vascular puncture, nerve damage.
Alternative  to these blocks some newer techniques have been designed with better safety profile and comparable pain relief. Pectoral (PECs) block is one of them in which the drug is deposited into the inter-fascial plane between pectoralis major and minor/pectoralis minor and serratus anterior muscles.
There has been only a single study comparing both of these blocks in these surgeries,but none in the Indian subpopulation. We hypotthesised that ESP block can be as effective as PECS block for MRM patients in terms of perioperative analgesia. 
The primary objective was to compare morphine consumption in 24 hours postoperatively.
