description Abstract BackgroundDemand for breast implant removal is on the rise, with more than 36,000 ObjectivesThe authors sought to compare perioperative pain control between three different types of ultrasound (US)-guided regional anesthetic techniques in patients undergoing implant removal with capsulectomy. MethodsThe authors reviewed all patients who received an US-guided block and underwent breast implant removal with capsulectomy at their outpatient surgical center over a 2-year period. They compared intraoperative (IO), PO opioid requirement, and patient-reported pain on the first postoperative day (POD1) between 3 different block techniques using chi-square analysis. A P ResultsA total of 352 patients were included. Twenty-six patients (7.4%) underwent a serratus plane (SP) block, 13 (3.7%) underwent an erector spinae combined with pectointercostal fascial plane (ES + PIFP) block, and 313 (88.9%) underwent an erector spinae combined with pectoral nerve (ES + PECS1) block. ES + PECS1 was associated with less IO and PO opioid use compared with SP and ES + PIFP (1.9% vs 19.2% vs 61.5%, PPP ConclusionsRegional pain blocks, and specifically the ES block, offer effective pain control for patients undergoing breast implant removal with capsulectomy, demonstrating high patient satisfaction in the PO period with low opioid requirements.
