Brief Summary  
The aim of the study is to compare the postoperative analgesic efficacy of levobupivacaine in ultrasound guided thoracic paravertebral block vs levobupivacaine in ultrasound guided erector spinae plane block in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy. The study will be conducted in a comparative manner in GGS Medical College and Hospital, Faridkot on 80 adult females belonging to American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Grade I and II scheduled for modified radical mastectomy under general anaesthesia. Patients will be randomly allocated into two groups of 40 each.
Group P: Patients will receive 20ml of 0.25% Levobupivacaine through USG guided thoracic paravertebral block at T5 level.
Group E: Patients will receive 20ml of 0.25% Levobupivacaine through USG guided erector spinae plane block at T5 level.
The patients will be observed postoperatively for duration till first rescue analgesic requirement, total rescue analgesic consumption, pain score using visual analogue score and any side effects in the form of pneumothorax, hypotension, bradycardia, epidural or intrathecal spread, vascular puncture, nerve damage, horner’s syndrome, infection at injection site, post operative nausea & vomiting, headache or sedation.
