Implication

Randomized controlled trial compares pain management efficacy of preemptive versus intraoperative pectoral nerve block, suggesting clinical advantages of intraoperative approach.

Key Points

Intraoperative pectoral nerve block resulted in significantly lower pain scores at 20 hr postoperatively.
The mean VAS score was 1.41 ± 1.22 in the intraoperative group, compared to 2.22 ± 1.34 in the preemptive group (p = 0.040).
The total anesthetic time was significantly shorter in the intraoperative group at 111 ± 3.54 minutes versus 140 ± 2.84 minutes in the preemptive group.
Cumulative morphine consumption did not differ significantly between groups, and no complications were reported.
