Efficacy of pectoralis nerve blocks I & II with liposomal bupivacaine in patients undergoing elective breast reduction procedures: A retrospective study

Background: The pectoral nerve (PECs) block I and II nerve blocks with liposomal bupivacaine (LB, Exparel) are used for postoperative analgesia in breast surgery, but evidence on efficacy for breast reduction is limited.We examined the effect of the PECS I and II blocks with LB on perioperative opioid use and pain scores compared to no block and bl
