Summary
This study looked at how different nerve blocks numb the skin for breast cancer surgery. Thirty-six patients received one of three types of nerve blocks before surgery. Researchers mapped the numb area and checked if it covered the surgical incision. The goal is to help doctors choose the best block for pain control.
