Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Most surgeons follow the practice of leaving a drain following thyroid surgery, in the hope that this will obliterate the dead space and evacuate collected blood and serum.The main reason is to drain off a possible post-operative haemorrhage that may compress air passages and produce respiratory failure. Although haemorrhage after thyroid surgery is rare, it may be life-threatening and require immediate re-operation. According to Karayacin et al., routine drainage after thyroid surgery is not necessary, and a selective policy can be safely applied. |
