  Background: Regional anesthesia is recommended for the anesthetic management of patients with low respiratory function undergoing mastectomy. We present two cases of breast surgery under thoracic epidural anesthesia in combination with ultrasound-guided serratus plane block (SPB) and intravenous sedation.
