Drainless Thyroidectomy by the Sutureless Technique for Benign Thyroid Diseases

NCT07625865 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 80

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This randomized controlled trial evaluates the safety and feasibility of drainless thyroid surgery for benign thyroid diseases using a sutureless hemostatic technique. Patients undergoing thyroidectomy are randomized to either drainless surgery or surgery with drain placement. The study compares postoperative outcomes, including complications, pain, hospital stay, and need for reintervention.

Conditions

  • Benign Thyroid Nodule

Interventions

PROCEDURE

sutureless thyroidectomy without drain

Participants undergo sutureless thyroidectomy procedure but no drain is placed postoperatively. The goal is to assess whether omitting the drain affects postoperative outcomes such as pain, seroma, hematoma, infection, or overall recovery, while maintaining safety.

PROCEDURE

sutureless thyroidectomy with drain

Participants undergo sutureless thyroidectomy for benign thyroid disease with placement of a subcutaneous suction drain. The drain is intended to evacuate postoperative fluid (blood or serous fluid) to reduce the risk of complications such as hematoma or seroma formation. The surgical technique itself follows conventional sutureless thyroidectomy principles.
