Read the detailed description

This randomized controlled trail was conducted at Surgical Ward from January 2021 to July 2021.

Materials and Methods Total 72 patients (indicated for thyroid surgery) who were fulfilling the inclusion criteria were enrolled. Patients were divided randomly into two groups by using lottery method. In Group A patients wound closure was done without Platysma Suturing and in Group-B patients wound closure was done with Platysma Suturing. Pain assessment was done with the help of VAS after surgery (6, Hours, 24 hours, 48 hours). Scar assessment was carried out with the help of POSAS. All this information was noted by the researcher himself and noted on a well-designed questionnaire.
