About this study

Bilateral intermediate cervical plexus blocks have been reported for thyroid/parathyroid surgery. This technique combined with intravenous sedation has used with safety in patients undergoing simple thyroid or parathyroid surgery. Simple surgery is defined as the thyroid conditions are not cancer, redo or substernal goiter.
