Brief Title: Subcuticular Suture Versus Synthetic Glue in Thyroidectomy Incision
Official Title: Comparison of Esthetic Results Between Subcuticular Suture and Synthetic Glue in Thyroidectomy Incision: a RCT
Study ID: NCT00754182
Brief Summary: The aim of this study is to compare aesthetic results of two different type of sutures (subcuticular versus synthetic glue) in post-thyroidectomy incisions. It is a randomized clinical trial (single blinded) designed as a superiority study, since in the authors' hypotheses glue can give better results compared with subcuticular suture in this particular district. Secondary objective is to investigate if other factors (like the use of cold/warm blade, the sex, the presence of diabetes, the lenght of incision) can influence aesthetic results.
