[The use of 0.5% bupivacaine by infiltration for analgesia during thyroidectomies].
We studied the postoperative analgesia in 25 patients scheduled for a thyroidectomy or a parathyroidectomy. In 15 patients we used wound infiltration of bupivacaine 0.5%. In both groups we compared the pain score and the analgesic drugs administered after the surgery, within the first 24 hours. We found that wound infiltration is a very efficient way to prevent and to treat the postoperative pain.
