“Combination of Thoracic Epidural Anesthesia, Supraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block and Supraclavicular Nerve Block as Surgical Anesthesia for Modified Radical Mastectomy—A Case Series”

Sensory innervation of the breast is complex, thereby making it difficult to perform any surgical procedure with a single regional anesthesia technique. Because of the involvement of pectoral muscles and extension of the incision into the axilla, a modified radical mastectomy makes it further challenging and requires multiple techniques. We have used a new combination of regional techniques in this case series and found that it provided complete surgical anesthesia with a smaller volume of local anesthetic.
