title: [The use of different suture materials in thyroid surgery. A statistical evaluation of the immediate and long-term results].
abstract: Six groups of patients for a total of 120 cases were examined for cervical wound suture results. Different synthetic absorbable sutures and different suture techniques were employed. Good aesthetic results were always obtained in long-term follow-up. The patients sutured with Polydioxanone, a monofilament with prolonged breaking strength retention, had a lower incidence of local complications.
