Abstract
Surgery of the thyroid, parathyroid, and parotid glands requires a coordinated team of an experienced surgeon and anesthesiologist familiar with the challenges of each procedure. Surgery of the parathyroid, thyroid, and parotid is distinct with regard to the surgical concerns, anesthetic priorities, and postoperative management. Unlike parotid surgery, which is typically performed under general anesthesia, thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy can be performed under local, regional, or general anesthesia.
