Abstract
Introduction: In most studies, evaluation of the efficacy of the PECs is done under ultrasound
guidance however this is time consuming, requires adequate equipment, and well trained manpower
with ultrasound familiarity, which may not be feasible in centers with high patient load and limited
resource settings. Also ultrasound guided PECs block poses increased associated risks such as
iatrogenic vascular puncture, accidental nerve injuries and makes surgical dissection difficult. The
aim of this study was therefore to evaluate the efficacy of the intraoperative PECs by the surgeon
in the management of post-operative pain.
