one of the priorities of every government. The quality of such care is however, limited by the human and technical resources available. The varying types of thyroidectomy for goiters are often done under general anesthesia, unless, there is a contraindication such as, cardiopulmonary instability. Recently, there is increasing evidence that thyroidectomy could be done under local anesthesia with or without anxiolytics or opioid analgesia augmentation. This study reports on our experience of performing thyroidectomy under infiltrative local anesthesia,59 patients that underwent thyroidectomy under field block with 1% lignocaine with adrenaline 1:200,0000 dilutions. Dose was standardized for all patients at 4 mg/kg under monitored anesthesia. The period under study covered from October 2017, October 2019. The patients’ characteristics analyzed were biodata, clinical diagnosis, patient’s weight, type of surgery, duration of surgery and complications.
