Study Arms (2)

Treatment

EXPERIMENTAL

Use of Anti-adhesion barrier on the thyroidectomy space. After the thyroidectomy, anti-adhesion barrier will be applied on the thyroidectomy space, around the trachea, cricothyroid muscle and platysma muscle before the closure of surgical wound.

Device: Anti-adhesion barrier (Collarbarrier)

Control

NO INTERVENTION

No use of anti-adhesion barrier. After the thyroidectomy, don't use the anti-adhesion barrier before the wound closure.

Interventions

Collagen derived anti-adhesion barrier

Treatment
