Paravertebral blocks are becoming increasingly popular, especially as an anesthetic adjunct for breast procedures. Major breast cancer surgery is associated with a high incidence of postoperative nausea, vomiting and pain. Recent studies have demonstrated a benefit from preoperative placement of a paravertebral block, not only in reducing acute postoperative pain, but also in producing statistically significant reductions in the percentage of patients that develop chronic postsurgical pain 1 year after surgery. Another study found that the breast cancer recurrence rate at 36 months after surgery was lower in the paravertebral group than in a group receiving general anesthesia alone. These studies provide additional reasons for including this block in the anesthetic technique for breast surgery.
