Core Tip

Core Tip: We recruited 96 thyroid cancer patients admitted to hospital between January 2019 and December 2020. Patients were divided into the control (47 cases) and experimental (49 cases) groups. Sevoflurane-dexmedetomidine inhalation general anesthesia combined with cervical plexus nerve block can reduce the postoperative stress and inflammatory responses in patients with thyroid cancer, while maintaining high anesthesia effectiveness and safety.
