Following non-mastectomy breast surgery, 2-level paravertebral blocks provided superior analgesia and opioid sparing compared with pectoralis-II blocks. This is a contrary finding to the majority of studies in patients having mastectomy in which little significant difference was identified between the two types of blocks.
