About

The aim of this observational study is to evaluate the effect of Pectoral Nerve Block II (PECSII) on the development of pain in the acute and chronic periods in female patients over the age of 18 who underwent oncological breast surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Is PECSII blockade applied to patients undergoing oncological breast surgery effective on acute pain scores compared to the non-blockade group? Is there a difference between the group with block and the group without block in terms of the development of chronic pain in the evaluation made at the 3rd month after surgery? The analgesia method applied to the patients will be recorded in the patient files and acute and chronic pain scores will be evaluated. Chronic pain score evaluation will be made by telephone survey.
