Summary
In this study, the investigators will compare the intraoperative opioid consumption for
patients undergoing breast cancer surgery. The patients will be divided in two groups, the
first one will receive a pectoral nerve block right after induction of anesthesia and the
second one, the control group, will not receive the pectoral block. Our hypothesis is that
the pectoral nerve block reduces the opioid consumption during the surgery.
