Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Erector spinae plane block (ESPB)   Patients in Group 2 will undergo Modified radical mastectomy under general anaesthesia along with ESPB block.Before induction of anaesthesia ESPB block will be given by injecting 0.4ml/kg of Inj. 0.375% Ropivacaine (with a maximum volume of 30ml)between erector spinae muscle and transverse process of fifth thoracic vertebrae in preoperative holding area. 
Comparator Agent  Serratus anterior plane block (SAP)   Patients in Group 1 will undergo Modified radical mastectomy under general anaesthesia along with SAP block.Before induction of anaesthesia SAP block will be given by injecting 0.4ml/kg of 0.375% Ropivacaine (with a maximum volume of 30ml)between serratus anterior muscle and external intercostal muscle at the level of fifth rib in preoperative holding area.

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To evaluate and compare the time to first dose of rescue analgesic in the post-operative period in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy under combined general anaesthesia and serratus anterior plane block with patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy under combined general anaesthesia and erector spinae plane block.   To evaluate and compare the time to first dose of rescue analgesic at the time when numerical rating score more than 4 in the post-operative period in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy under combined general anaesthesia and serratus anterior plane block with patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy under combined general anaesthesia and erector spinae plane block.  
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
a.To evaluate and compare the total dose of rescue analgesic needed intraoperatively.
b. To evaluate and compare the total dose of rescue analgesics required postoperatively.
c. To evaluate and compare the patient satisfaction score postoperatively.

 
The total intraoperative and postoperative analgesics and patients satisfaction scores will be noted till 24 hours after the surgery.

Brief Summary   Breast cancer is the most common cancer found in women worldwide.Perioperative pain management is one of the crucial elements required for optimal outcome of patients undergoing breast cancer surgery.Various techniques like the wound infiltration, intravenous opioids, thoracic epidural and thoracic paravertebral have been used for postoperative pain management in these patients.Recently, fascial plane blocks are being increasingly employed for intraoperative and postoperative pain management in these patients.These fascial plane blocks include Modified Pectoralis nerve block, Serratus anterior plane block and Erector spinae plane block.Among all regional anaesthetic techniques, which is the most efficacious, safe, technically simple and less time consuming is questionable.No randomized clinical trial has been done to compare the analgesic efficacy of ESPB and SAP block.Hence we planned a prospective randomized clinical trial to compare the analgesic efficacy of SAP block and ESPB in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy.
