Comparison of ultrasound-guided type-II pectoral nerve block and rhomboid intercostal block for pain management following breast cancer surgery: a randomized, controlled trial.
Abstract
Although breast-conserving surgery-axillary dissection (BCS-AD) is a minimal invasive surgery, patients may suffer from moderate-to-severe pain. Several regional techniques can be used for pain control. The type II pectoral nerve block (PECS II) and the rhomboid intercostal block (RIB) are interfascial plane blocks that have been reported to provide effective analgesia after breast surgery. This study aims to compare the analgesic efficacy of the PECS II and the RIB after breast surgery.
