Analgesia for Thyroidectomy Using Bilateral Superficial Cervical Plexus Block With Bupivacaine Only or Adding Ketorolac to it.

Thyroidectomy is considered a common operation with moderate to severe postoperative pain in some patients. Patients are divided into two groups. Bupivacaine group received bilateral superficial cervical plexus block (BSCPB) with 10 ml of bupivacaine (0.25%) and 1 ml of normal saline on each side and the Bupivacaine Ketorolac group received (BSCPB) with 10 ml of bupivacaine (0.25%) and 1 ml of ketorolac (15 mg) on each side.
