Treatment
EXPERIMENTALUse 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.
Control
NO INTERVENTIONNo use of anti-adhesion barrier. After the thyroidectomy, don't use the anti-adhesion barrier before the wound closure.
