Brief Summary  

•Pain after thyroid surgery is considered to be of moderate intensity with up to 90% of the patients requiring narcotics on the first postoperative day and is of short duration. With improvements in the operative techniques for thyroidectomy, the surgical complications like hoarseness of voice and hypocalcemia have been minimized. Pain has now emerged as a significant problem in the postoperative period. Intermediate cervical plexus block (CPB) is a new procedure whose analgesic efficacy compared to superficial cervical plexus block is yet to be established. If we can control early postoperative pain and avoid the nausea and vomiting that are induced by opioids, patients can achieve a good quality of analgesia after thyroidectomy.
