Deep Serratus Anterior Plane Block
Superficial Serratus Anterior Plane Block
Following the visualization of the anatomical structures, the nerve block needle will be advanced via the in-plane technique beneath the serratus anterior muscles until the interfascial space was reached. After hydrodissection with 2 ml normal saline, 20 ml 0.25% bupivacaine will be injected into the area.
