Aesthetic comparison between synthetic glue and subcuticular sutures in thyroid and parathyroid surgery: a single-blinded randomised clinical trial Confronto del risultato estetico tra colla sintetica e suture intradermiche nella chirurgia tiroidea e paratiroidea: una sperimentazione clinica in singolo cieco

SUMMAry = 0.62) or clinically significant (difference in means = 0.3) differences were found between groups A and B. in conclusion, synthetic glue differs from subcuticular suture in post-thyroidectomy or post-parathyroidectomy incision for early aesthetic results, with better outcomes for subcuticular sutures. At 3 months, there were no dif- ferences in aesthetic outcomes between groups. Moreover, sex, incision length, age, cold/hot blade and correspondence of the incision with a wrinkle in the skin did not seem to influence aesthetic outcomes with this type of incision.
