We read with great interest the original article by Syal and Chandel where they compared post-operative analgesic effect of paravertebral block, pectoral nerve block or PECS block and local infiltration in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy.[1] As the use of ultrasound in regional anaesthesia has become quite popular, fascial plane blocks are evolving.
