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.
