[Drainage in surgery on the thyroid].
The authors report their experience of 534 thyroid operations and underline the importance of neck drainage in this type of surgery. Drainage positioning is very important for the prevention and immediate indication of hemorrhaging complications. Some correct indications, like large goiters, hyperthyroidism, reoperation and the lack of vascular ligature, are considered and discussed.
