Platysma Trial - Platysma Suturing Versus no Sutures for Wound Closure After Primary Thyroid Surgery
Summary
Influence of the platysma suture on postoperative pain and wound healing.
Description
Does a running platysma suture after primary thyroid resection alter direct postoperative pain, wound healing and long term cosmetic results.
Primary outcome measure is if the lack of a platysma-Suture decreases the postoperative pain (detected by the visual pain score 0-10) and reduces the pain medication (detected by the cumulative NSAID and opioid treatment per patient). The second Question to be answered is if the cosmetic scar result (detected by the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Score) 6 month after thyroidectomy is better in the intervention group (no Platysma-Suture) or not.

Suture Anchors
Implants used in arthroscopic surgery and other orthopedic procedures to attach soft tissue to bone. One end of a suture is tied to soft tissue and the other end to the implant. The anchors are made of a variety of materials including titanium, stainless steel, or absorbable polymers.
Polyglycolic Acid
A biocompatible polymer used as a surgical suture material.
Cerclage, Cervical
The surgical closure of the incompetent cervix uteri with suture material.
Suture Techniques
Techniques for securing together the edges of a wound, with loops of thread or similar materials (SUTURES).
