The article discusses the use of rhomboid intercostal and pectoral nerve blocks for breast surgery, focusing on their analgesic effects. It addresses the confusion surrounding the terminology of pectoral nerve blocks and highlights concerns about potential risks and limitations of different block techniques. The study emphasizes the need for further research to determine the efficacy and safety of these blocks in providing postoperative pain relief for breast surgery patients.
