Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare two standard methods of pain control management used at Spectrum Health for patients undergoing breast surgery. The two methods being compared are the paravertebral block (PVB) and the pectoral nerve block (PEC). Postoperative pain control is essential following any major operative procedure. A variety of methods have been used to ensure adequate pain control, each with its own advantages and risks. Increasingly, attention has focused on regional methods of analgesia, which may allow for reduction in systemic narcotic use and their associated complications. Proposed benefits of regional analgesia and a resultant reduction in narcotic use include decreased risk of cancer progression, decreased length of stay, and decreased risk of ileus.
