description Aim: The aim of this series is to study the need of drainage use after total thyreoidectomy. Material and Methods: Retrospective study of a series of patients who underwent total thyroidectomy from 2005 up to 2013. The presence or not of hematomas, seromas and hemorrhage were recorded. Results: Out of the 66 patients included in this series, only one case of post-operative hematoma was recorded. Neither a hemorrhage nor a seroma were identified despite the volume, the underlying pathology and the co-morbidity of the patients involved. Conclusion: In our experience a thyroidectomy with adequate hemostasis does not require the use of drains.
