Efficacy of pectoralis nerve blocks I & II with liposomal bupivacaine in patients undergoing elective breast reduction procedures: A retrospective study
Patients receiving the PECS block had decreased outpatient narcotic requirements compared to those patients who did not get the block. Patients receiving PECS block with LB had the further benefit of having decreased intraoperative narcotic requirements compared to the other groups. This highlights the potential benefit of performing the PECS block for patients undergoing breast reduction surgery.
