Objective:

To explore the evolution and efficacy of nerve block techniques in breast surgery for improved postoperative pain management.

Key Findings:
  • TPVB remains the 'gold standard' for nerve blocks in breast surgery.
  • Newer techniques like PECS, SAPB, and ESPB show promise in pain management.
  • No single nerve block technique is universally applicable; individualized approaches are essential.
Interpretation:

The review highlights the importance of personalized nerve block strategies to enhance pain management and recovery in breast surgery, while also considering the prevention of chronic pain syndromes.

Limitations:
  • Lack of standardized protocols for nerve block techniques.
  • Need for more high-quality trials on emerging techniques and long-term outcomes.
Conclusion:

Future research should focus on developing standardized nerve block protocols and conducting high-quality trials to improve evidence-based practices in perioperative pain management for breast surgery.
