Although the anatomy of individual pectoralis major and minor muscles has been described previously, never before anatomic relationship between these investigated.The authors identify costal origins muscles.Bilateral thoracic wall dissection was completed in 102 cadavers. In each dissection, chest soft tissue removed, distance measured.In 49 female 53 male cadavers, 202 were lifted to expose muscles. Distances separated into 3 categories: less than 1 cm, greater cm. Forty-nine (24%) muscle...
Multimodal analgesic protocols are increasingly favored over traditional opioid regimens due to decreased adverse side effects and reduced consumption. Concomitant use of selective cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 inhibitor celecoxib anticonvulsant gabapentin have been proposed adequately control acute postoperative pain.
