Description détaillée
Thyroidectomy for benign thyroid diseases is commonly performed with routine placement of surgical drains to prevent postoperative hematoma or seroma. However, drain use may be associated with increased pain, infection risk, prolonged hospital stay, and patient discomfort. Advances in surgical techniques, particularly the use of sutureless energy-based hemostatic devices, have raised the possibility of safely omitting routine drain placement in selected patients.
This prospective randomized controlled trial aims to assess the safety and feasibility of drainless thyroid surgery in patients with benign thyroid diseases. Eligible patients undergoing thyroidectomy are randomly allocated into two groups: a drainless group, in which no postoperative drain is inserted, and a control group, in which a conventional closed suction drain is placed.
All surgeries are performed using a standardized sutureless technique for hemostasis. Patients are followed postoperatively to evaluate surgical and clinical outcomes, including postoperative bleeding or hematoma, seroma formation, wound complications, hypocalcemia, recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, postoperative pain, length of hospital stay, and need for reintervention or readmission.
The results of this study are expected to clarify whether drainless thyroid surgery using a sutureless technique is a safe and feasible alternative to conventional drain placement in benign thyroid surgery and may help optimize postoperative care and patient comfort

Comparateur actif: thyroidectomy without drain
Participants in this arm undergo sutureless thyroidectomy procedure, but no surgical drain is placed afterward.
The aim is to evaluate whether omitting the drain affects outcomes such as postoperative surgical site complications (like pain, infection, seroma, hematoma) compared with the drained approach.
|
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.

Comparateur actif: thyroidectomy with drain
Participants in this arm undergo sutureless thyroidectomy for benign thyroid disease with placement of a subcutaneous suction drain at the end of the procedure.
The purpose of using the drain is to evacuate any postoperative fluid such as blood or serous fluid from the surgical site to theoretically reduce complications such as hematoma or seroma accumulation.
|
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.
