Below, we outline the key revisions made in response to your valuable input. All implemented changes in the manuscript are highlighted in yellow. 

1. **Improved Introduction Section:**
   In response to your feedback, we have enhanced the introduction section to better emphasize the critical importance of advancing breast cancer treatment. We have incorporated additional context and background information that underscores the significance of our study within the broader context of breast cancer management. These revisions aim to provide a clearer understanding of the overarching importance of our research.

2. **Revised Methods Section:**
  We have thoroughly revised the methods section to provide a more detailed and transparent account of the patient inclusion criteria used in our study. This improved description ensures that readers can readily grasp the selection process for participants. We have incorporated specific criteria, justifications, and ethical considerations to enhance the clarity and completeness of this section.

3. **Revised Conclusion:**
  The conclusion section has been reworked to better summarize the clinical importance of our study. We have refined the language to emphasize the clinical significance of our findings, particularly in relation to breast cancer surgery. The revised conclusion highlights how the integration of the PECS block into anesthesia protocols can improve patient outcomes and contribute to enhanced postoperative care, including potential reductions in hospital stays and improved operative room efficiency.

We believe that these revisions significantly strengthen the manuscript.
