Abstract
This article discusses the algorithms and published practice patterns on perioperative analgesia for thyroid and parathyroid surgery. This includes medications and techniques used for general anesthesia, local anesthesia including nerve block methods, and oral medication used for postoperative pain control. The authors also discuss multimodality pain control and the increased trend to reduce opioid analgesics without inadequate pain control or patient satisfaction.
