Summary
This project intends to more thoroughly investigate the direct influence of Pecs blocks in
the administration of Exparel, a non-opioid analgesic, in breast reconstruction surgery. The
hypothesis is that this analgesic delivery method will significantly reduce negative outcomes
such as post-operative pain, opioid use, and nausea while increasing positive outcomes such
as post-operative physical activity.
