Abstract

Opioid-based analgesia is the most common method for pain control in the postoperative period. Limited data exist to compare the adequacy of pain control in the post thyroidectomy period with nonopioid-based analgesia. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of nonopioid-based, postoperative analgesia.
