Randomized trial evaluated postoperative pain outcomes in breast surgery patients, suggesting PECS could replace PVB.

PECS block achieved comparable success rates to PVB, with 69.6% versus 63.2% at 30 minutes.
The PECS block significantly reduced administration time compared to PVB, performing in 7 minutes versus 14 minutes.
Patient satisfaction and opioid consumption were similar across both block techniques with no complications.
Study findings support PECS block for effective postoperative pain control in breast surgery patients.

Dossi et al. (2025) studied this question.
