26635

Thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) is an alternative method to general anesthesia because of provides a safe anesthesia with balanced hemodynamic response, allows postoperative pain control by means of catheter and has low side effect profile. TPVB performed safely for the patients undergoing breast cancer surgery with the same reason, has used in too few center instead of general anesthesia. This technique provides an adequate anesthesia for the patients undergoing breast surgery and in addition provides stable hemodynamic status with unilateral somatic and sympathetic blockade, near-perfect control of postoperative pain, minimal nausea and vomiting rate, early discharge and low cost. For this reason, thoracic paravertebral block which is a standard method in breast surgeries for some centers should be known by all anesthesiologists. We believe that, thoracic paravertebral block is a method can be applied instead of general anesthesia.
