ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
This study was conducted to investigate whether the use of HA-CMC solution in thyroid surgery influences drainage amount and hospital stay.METHODS:
Between November 2012 and December 12, 147 patients with thyroid cancer who underwent total thyroidectomy with central compartment neck dissection were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into four groups; those with or without HA-CMC solution application and high or low output drainage.RESULTS:
There were no differences in hospital stay and mean total drainage between the with and without HA-CMC solution application groups (P=0.230, P=0.732). The mean hospital stay was 2.2±0.4 days for the low output of drainage group and 3.1±0.6 days for the high output drainage group (P<0.001). There was no significant difference in the use of HA-CMC solution (41.1% vs. 56.8%, P=0.070).CONCLUSION:
The use of HA-CMC solution in thyroid cancer surgery might not increase drainage amount and make hospital stay longer.
