By examining not only what is medically effective but also what actually benefits the patient’s recovery and well-being.<bold>Aim. </bold>To assess the importance of the drainage with the thyroidectomy operations.<bold>Materials and methods. </bold>A retrospective study was conducted over four years and included 148 patients that had thyroid surgery without using a drain. The ultrasound was used preoperatively in classifying the thyroid pathologies and the sizes of the gland and postoperatively in assessment and treatment of surgical site collection. The hospital stay, post-operative complications related to surgical drainage, and the way of dealing with them for each patient were recorded.<bold>Results. </bold>The types of goiter were 8 diffuse, 68 multinodular, and 72 solitary thyroid nodule that were treated by different types of thyroidectomies without drainage (25 by subtotal thyroidectomy (16.8 %), 12 by total lobectomy and isthmesctomy (8.1 %) and 111 by total thyroidectomy (75 %)). There were no operation site collections in 94 % of the cases; 9 cases only had developed post-operative collection, and all were resolved by simple needle aspiration.<bold>Conclusion. </bold>There is no role for the drain with thyroid surgery, and thyroidectomies can be considered a day case surgery.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Введение. </bold>Использование дренажей при операциях на щитовидной железе (ЩЖ) давно является предметом дискуссий, при этом возможные преимущества, связанные с предотвращением осложнений после хирургического вмешательства, сопоставляются с рисками и дискомфортом, которые они могут вызвать. Мы изучили не только то, что является эффективным с медицинской точки зрения, но и то, что на самом деле способствует выздоровлению и хорошему самочувствию пациента.<bold>Цель исследования </bold>– оценить эффективность дренирования при операциях по удалению ЩЖ.<bold>Материалы и методы. </bold>Ретроспективное исследование проводилось в течение 4 лет и включало 148 пациентов, которым выполнена операция на ЩЖ без использования дренажа. Ультразвуковое исследование проведено до хирургического вмешательства для классификации патологий ЩЖ и определения ее размеров, а также после него для оценки состояния пациентов. Анализировали сроки пребывания в стационаре, послеоперационные осложнения, связанные с хирургическим дренированием, и способы их устранения.<bold>Результаты. </bold>У 8 пациентов был диффузный зоб, у 68 – многоузловой, у 72 – одиночные узлы ЩЖ, которые удалены с помощью различных видов тиреоидэктомий без дренирования (в 25 (16,8 %) случаях проведена субтотальная тиреоидэктомия, в 12 (8,1 %) – тотальная лобэктомия и истмусэктомия, в 111 (75 %) – тотальная тиреоидэктомия). В 94 % случаев в месте операции формирования сером не отмечено; только в 9 случаях выявлено скопление серозной жидкости, которая была удалена путем тонкоигольной аспирации.<bold>Заключение. </bold>При операциях на ЩЖ использование дренажа не играет никакой роли.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>thyroid</kwd><kwd>drain</kwd><kwd>surgery</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>щитовидная железа</kwd><kwd>головной мозг</kwd><kwd>хирургия</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">1.
