BREAST SURGERY

Breast surgery is most commonly performed under a general anaesthetic.

If an axillary dissection or mastectomy is required there is an additional option of performing a nerve block for pain relief. These can be performed after the patient is asleep, and involve placing local anaesthetic near the nerves underneath the collar bone under ultrasound guidance. These nerve blocks provide excellent pain relief in addition to the tablets that may be prescribed.
