Serratus Plane Blocks for Breast Cancer Survivors with Post-Mastectomy Pain Syndrome

Friday, November 14, 2025
8:16 AM - 8:24 AM CT
Location: 301 - 302
Introduction: Post-mastectomy pain syndrome (PMPS) is a prevalent and persistent pain condition affecting 36–68% of breast cancer survivors following breast surgery.1,2 Characterized by persistent pain in the anterior chest, axilla, and shoulder. Conservative management strategies often fail to provide adequate relief. Ultrasound-guided serratus anterior plane (SAP) block has emerged as a promising non-surgical interventional technique for mitigating PMPS, offering effective pain relief.1 This case series evaluates the utility of SAP blocks in six patients with PMPS.
