Article Synopsis
- * A total of 449 adult patients who underwent surgery for CRSwNPs were categorized based on how many paranasal sinuses were affected by polyps, and statistical tools were used to find links between different factors and disease recurrence.
- * Findings indicate that patients with asthma or sensitivity to acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) had more sinuses involved, and higher blood eosinophil counts correlated with the severity of CRSwNP, suggesting these factors may contribute to worse outcomes.
Background: Breast cancer is complicated by a high incidence of chronic postoperative pain (25%-60%). Regional anesthesia might play an important role in lowering the incidence of chronic pain; however it is not known if the pectoral nerve block (PECS block), which is commonly used for breast surgery, is able to prevent this complication. Our main objective was therefore to detect any association between the PECS block and chronic pain at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months in patients undergoing breast surgery.
