Summary
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of PECS block applied to patients undergoing bilateral breast reduction surgery on postoperative analgesia compared to local infiltration anesthesia.
Detailed description
Pectoral nerve block (PECS block) has been developed as an alternative to thoracic paravertebral and/or thoracic epidural blocks in recent years. It is frequently applied for postoperative analgesia especially in breast cancer surgery and subpectoral breast prosthesis.
