Study Description

Brief Summary: The investigators are trying to establish an easy technique for insertion of a catheter for continuous infusion while performing pectoral type 2 (serratus) block, as a post operative pain controlling measure for cases undergoing simple mastectomy, using ultrasound guidence

Detailed Description: As the space between the pectoralis minor and the serratus anterior is a fashial plane with a connective tissue occupying. we are trying to demonstrate a simple technique for inserting a catheter within that fashial plane and making sure of the catheter position, to ensure post operative analgesia for cases performing simple mastectomy. Now the Pectoralis type 2 block (PECS type 2) is an established technique as regional block technique for chest wall procedures. We are trying to maximizing the benefit of the block with a catheter insertion to use it for continuous infusion of bupivacaine for controlling post operative pain in cases performing simple mastectomy procedure
