Extensive breast surgeries can be tackled with various modalities of post-operative analgesia. We report a 50 year old female who is a case of carcinoma breast undergoing modified radical mastectomy which was supplemented with PEC1 and PEC2 block given under ultrasound guidance. Outcome was measured as patient reported intensity of pain according to the visual analogue scale (VAS) at rest.
