Abstract
Introduction: Persistent pain following breast surgery is common and may be challenging to treat. In patients refractory to conservative treatments, ultrasound‐guided fascial plane blocks of thoracic nerves can be a useful option. Results: This type of neuro blockade technique provides advantages in terms of safety and efficacy that are convenient for physicians managing refractory and complex cases of post‐breast surgery syndrome. Conclusion: This technical review aims to present an up‐to‐date summary of the most common ultrasound‐guided fascial plane blocks for chronic pain in post‐breast surgery patients, provide a detailed technical description of each intervention, and propose preferred injections based on the anatomical location of the pain.
