                3. Inject Anesthesia for Local Cervical Block
                1. Kocher Incision
                  • Use a 2.5–3.5-cm abbreviated Kocher incision
                2. Create Subplatysmal Flaps
                3. Open Strap Muscles at the Midline
                4. Mobilize Thyroid
                  • Mobilize thyroid medially
                  • Ligate the middle thyroid vein
                  • Retract the thyroid medially
                5. Mobilize Parathyroid Adenoma
                  • Identify the left inferior parathyroid adenoma
                  • Handle the parathyroid adenoma gently to avoid rupture of the capsule
                6. Ligate End Arterial Blood Supply and Finish Parathyroid Resection
                  • Use the silk tie to elevate the parathyroid adenoma out of the tracheoesophageal groove
                  • Perform ex vivo aspiration and PTH measurement of the left inferior parathyroid adenoma
                  • Measure PTH in the systemic circulation, preoperatively, at the time of excision, and every 5 minutes thereafter
                1. Close Strap Muscles at Midline
                2. Close Platysma Muscles
                3. Close Dermis with 5-0 Prolene
                4. Apply Dermabond and Steri-Strips
                5. Remove Suture
