Treatment and study plan

Suction Drain placement (Example: Q-vac)

Device

After thyroid surgery we pust drain at bed of surgery to monitor post operative bleeding.

Primary outcomes

  1. Rate of hematoma post-operative .

    Time frame: 24 hours

    Rate of post operative hematoma formation and effect of drain in preventing it

Secondary outcomes

  1. Rate of infection

    Time frame: 7 days

    Compare Rate of surgical site infection between two groups

  2. Rate of re intervention

    Time frame: 7 days

  3. Post-operative pain by visual analogue scale

    Time frame: 3 days

  4. Post-operative hospital stay in days

    Time frame: 7 days

    Length of hospital stay: described as the length of a single hospitalization, which is determined by subtracting the day of admission from the day of discharge. Data are collected from patients underwent thyroid surgery using a pretested, structured interviewer-administered questionnaire, medical record review,

  5. Patient satisfaction by likert scale

    Time frame: 7 days
