Summary
Perioperative analgesia for surgery in carcinoma breast utilizes significant quantities of
opioids as compared to cosmetic breast surgeries. Regional anesthesia reduces the need for
perioperative opioids and thus may improve the outcome. The investigators decided to perform
the modified pectoral nerve block ( Pec II) under vision after resection of tumor, without
ultrasound and compare the postoperative analgesic and opioid sparing effects of the nerve
block with ultrasound guided modified pectoral nerve block (Pec) in patients undergoing
modified radical mastectomy.
