lateral pectoral nerve การใช้

The lateral pectoral nerve pierces only the clavicular head of the pectoralis major.
The lateral pectoral nerve has been described as double, while the medial pectoral nerve has been described as single.
The medial and lateral pectoral nerves form a connection, or loop, around the axillary artery, called ansa pectoralis.
Blockade of the lateral pectoral nerve is helpful in cases such as shoulder dislocation and other orthopedic procedures, involving the shoulder.
Decreasing the pectoral muscle tone intraoperatively by neuromuscular relaxation ( paralytic agents ) or by a nerve block ( local anesthetic injection ), can facilitate better cosmetic results during breast augmentation or post-mastectomy breast implantation . The skin projection point of the neurovascular bundle ( NVB ) represents the denervation point ( DP ) . The NVB ( thoracoacromial artery and vein, plus the lateral pectoral nerve ) may be the guide for local anesthetic applications in order to achieve pectoral muscle denervation . Routine botulinum toxin infiltration of the chest wall musculature at the time of mastectomy and immediate reconstruction & would paralyze the muscles and reduce the postoperative pain caused by muscle spasm .
