Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of Bupivicaine and Lidocaine for postoperative pain control in thyroid surgery.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients planned for total thyroidectomy will be recruited for participation. After being informed about the study and potential risks, all patients giving written informed consent will be screened for eligibility for study entry. Patients that meet inclusion and exclusion criteria will be randomized via block randomization in a double blind fashion and a 1:1 ratio to surgical incision infiltration with Bupivacaine (0.5% with 1:200 000 epinephrine) or Lidocaine (2% with 1:100 000 epinephrine).
