Although it is efficient and minimally invasive in most cases, it can lead to postoperative sore throat (POST) and cough. Because of intensive stimulation by the rigid metal suspension laryngoscope, procedures must be implemented under general anesthesia. Together, these factors increase the possibility of postoperative complications. Blocking the internal branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (SLN) is useful in inhibiting the endotracheal intubation stress response. Thus, we evaluated the efficacy of ultrasound-guided block of the internal branches of the superior laryngeal nerve to improve postoperative complications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 64 patients was scheduled for elective laryngeal cancer resection, and suspension laryngoscopic surgery was performed under general anesthesia with a block of the internal branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (group iSLNB,\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 32) and without a block (group C,\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 32). Patients in group iSLNB received ultrasound-guided blocks of the internal branches of superior laryngeal nerve bilaterally (0.2% ropivacaine, 2 ml each side). The primary outcome measures were the incidence and severity of sore throat and cough assessed 0.5, 2, 6, and 24 h after tracheal extubation. The secondary outcome measures were heart rate and mean arterial pressure on arrival in the operating room (T0), at endotracheal intubation (T1), upon insertion of the suspension laryngoscope (T2), 5 min after insertion (T3), at tracheal extubation (T4), and 5 min after extubation (T5). Blood glucose levels were measured at T0, T3, and T5.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The incidence and severity of POST and cough in the iSLNB (internal branch of superior laryngeal nerve block) group were significantly reduced within 6 h after extubation compared with those in the control group, regardless of whether swallowing was present (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &amp;lt; 0.05).
