Are narcotic pain medications necessary after discharge following thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy?
Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine whether patients undergoing thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy have similar postoperative pain if managed with an opioid-sparing regimen versus an opioid-containing regimen. We hypothesized that an opioid-sparing regimen would provide equivalent analgesia.
