Brief Summary

In total, 59 participants were included in the analysis. Patients who underwent mastectomy with PECs II block provided better movement of shoulder external rotation and arm abduction from the early post-surgery up to postoperative 6 months, whereas shoulder forward elevation gained superiorly from the early postoperative period, but statistical significance was found after 1 month after surgery. Nevertheless, internal rotation and adduction position of the shoulder was not different between the 2 groups
