Continuous Pectoral Nerve Block Compared with Continuous Thoracic Paravertebral Block and Intravenous Opioid Analgesia for the Postoperative Analgesic Efficacy in Patients Undergoing Modified Radical Mastectomy: A Prospective Randomized Trial.
Abstract
Postoperative pain following mastectomy is often severe and adequate pain management is necessary. We evaluated the analgesic efficacy of continuous pectoral nerve block (Pecs) in comparison with that of the continuous thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) and the intravenous opioid analgesia in patients scheduled for modified radical mastectomy (MRM).
