Abstract

Pectoralis Nerve (PECS) block was first described as an alternative to thoracic epidural and paravertebral blocks in managing pain after breast surgery [1]. Since then, there have been modifications such as the PECS II block and expansion of its uses to include analgesia for Port-a-Cath insertion and removal [2], minimally invasive cardiac surgery [3] and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device implantation [4]. Superficial cervical plexus blocks have been described to be effective for analgesia preceding procedures in the head and neck region. These procedures include carotid endarterectomy, thyroidectomy, and even part of a combination of peripheral nerve blocks for shoulder surgery [5]
