Resumo: | ABSTRACT Background: This study was aimed at investigating the aesthetic impact of scars on the lives of patients who undergo conventional thyroidectomy. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was based on a retrospective analysis of 98 electronic medical records of patients who underwent conventional thyroidectomy performed by the same surgeon. The impact was determined through a qualitative question and categorized into three levels of dissatisfaction. Results: Among the 98 patients, 96 (97.95%) reported experiencing no functional or visual discomfort with their scars. The two unsatisfied individuals were women, and both classified their discomfort as moderate. Although the diseases that indicated surgery varied, papillary thyroid carcinoma predominated. Conclusion: The sample’s satisfaction level indicates that, in line with the current literature, the decision to opt for cosmetically appealing methods is not justified by aesthetic complaints about scars. The benefits of lower cost and fewer complications make conventional thyroidectomy an old but reliable option for afflictions of the thyroid gland that require surgery. |
