Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Post-operative pain assessment
post-operative pain assessment using Numeric rating scale (from 0,no pain, to 10 ,worst pain)
Secondary Outcome Measures
Length of hospital stay
The number of days of hospitalization after surgery will be assessed
Evaluate the incidence and severity of persistent pain 6 months after surgery
Evaluate the incidence and severity of persistent pain 6 months after surgery using Numeric rating scale (from 0, no pain, to 10, worst pain)
Opioid use
Intra and post-operative opioid use
Incidence of PONV
Incidence of post operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in the first 36 hours
Assessment of patient satisfaction with the anesthesiological technique
Patients is requested to fill out a pre-printed sheet on their judgment of the anesthesiological procedure, in which they can express a value from 0 to 5, where 0 indicates "entirely dissatisfied" and 5 indi- cates "very satisfied"

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of the study is to compare the effectiveness of the Erector spinae plane (ESP) block versus thoracic paravertebral (TPV) block in the post-operative pain control after radical mastectomy.
Detailed Description
Primary outcome of our study is to compare the effectiveness of two regional anesthesia techniques, ESP block and TPV block, in the post-operative pain-control after radical mastectomy.
We will also evaluate both intra and post-operative opioid consumption, the incidence of PONV, the length of hospital stay, patient satisfaction with the anesthesiology technique and the incidence of chronic pain 6 months after surgery.
