Bilateral superficial cervical plexus block for parathyroidectomy during pregnancy: A case report

Figure 2 Operative findings and resected parathyroid gland. A: Parathyroidectomy under minimal incision (3 cm lengths) was performed. An ovoid deep reddish soft solid mass was found at the upper posterior to the left thyroid; B: Resected mass was 1.2 cm × 1.0 cm × 0.5 cm in size and pathologically confirmed as parathyroid adenoma in the frozen section. After 10 min of resection of the parathyroid gland, the level of parathyroid hormone normalized from 157.0 (pg/mL) to 21.8 (pg/mL), confirming that hyperparathyroidism was successfully corrected and the operation was completed.
