Summary

We aim to study the effect of local anesthetic when used in conjunction with general anesthesia during thyroidectomy or parathyroidectomy. We hypothesize there is equivalent pain control between bilateral superficial cervical plexus block and local wound infiltration when used in conjunction with a general anesthetic.

Conditions

  • Thyroid Neoplasms
  • Goiter, Nodular
  • Thyroid Nodule
  • Graves' Disease
  • Hyperparathyroidism

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Superficial Cervical Plexus Block

0.25% Marcaine is injected lateral to the sternocleidomastoid bilaterally (10mL on each side) after induction of anesthesia and prior to incision and scheduled thyroidectomy or parathyroidectomy.

PROCEDURE

Local Wound Infiltration

0.50% Marcaine is injected at the site of incision (10mL) after induction of anesthesia and prior to incision and scheduled thyroidectomy or parathyroidectomy.

DRUG

0.9% saline

DRUG

Marcaine
