Case Reports[Brachial plexus block for minimally invasive parathyroidectomy: report of 3 cases].
The brachial plexus block, either deep or superficial, is one of the anesthetic techniques used in parathyroidectomy. The block is easy to perform and has few hemodynamic side effects. Surgery can be carried out in an awake patient. ⋯ All 3 patients were discharged the same day. We wish to underline the utility of the brachial plexus block for parathyroid surgery. The technique is easy to perform, safe, and effective; as a result, surgery can be carried out on an outpatient basis.
