<br/><br/> This study demonstrates that, ultrasound guided thoracic paravertebral block  (TPVB) is an effective intraoperative and postoperative technique for surgical  anaesthesia and analgesia for breast surgery . It offers a long-lasting effective  analgesia with a significant decrease in anaesthetic and analgesic consumption, and  with a high degree of patient satisfaction, decrease the incidence of PONV and  shorten length of hospital stay. Ultrasound guidance helps identifying the  paravertebral space (PVS), needle placement, and to real time monitor the spread  of the local anesthetic around nerves which increase the efficacy of the block and  minimize the risk of complications.
