Abstract

Thyroid or parathyroid surgery may be performed using general anesthesia or regional anesthesia. Ninety-five (95) patients underwent thyroid or parathyroid surgery using general anesthesia (n=64) or bilateral superficial cervical plexus block with sedation (n=31) and completed a postoperative questionnaire regarding the perioperative experience. Patients undergoing parathyroid surgery under regional anesthesia (n=24) were more likely to experience better energy levels (p=0.012) and earlier return to work (p=0.045) postoperatively. Overall, 96% of patients undergoing either type of surgery with either type of anesthetic reported satisfaction with the anesthetic.
