Prior to thyroidectomy, patients will be randomized to two groups: 1) use of conventional surgical procedures to achieve hemostasis,i.e., ligatures and bipolar electrocauterization alone, and 2) use of oxidized cellulose patch (Surgicel©) in addition to classical methods (ligature; bipolar electrocautery). All anticoagulants will be discontinued 10 days prior to the operation, if this will not be possible the patient will be excluded. The investigators will perform the specified procedure in accordance with accepted clinical practice standards. At the end of the thyroidectomy, a meticulous hemostasis will be achieved. Before wound closure, the sealed affiliation envelopes will be opened and 1-2×2 cm oxidized cellulose patch will be placed over the thyroid bed depending on patient randomization. Next, a suction drain will be placed. The drains will be removed when the secretion volume/day will be less than 20 cc.\n\nAll operations will be performed under general anesthesia by three head and neck surgeons who had experience in thyroid surgery. Outcome measures will include duration of operation, hemodynamic variables on emergence (blood pressure and heart rate), volume of secretion in the drain, time to removal of wound drain, length of postoperative hospital stay, and incidence of postoperative complications, i.e. hemorrhage, transient hypoparathyroidism, wound infection, seroma, and recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy. Evaluation of the postoperative course and recording of data will be done by one surgeons blinded to the intervention (MA). Follow-up for this study will be ended one month after the surgery.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* All patients who required a thyroidectomy\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Unwilling or unable to consent\n* Age \\< 18 years\n* known allergy to oxidized cellulose\n* Inability to discontinue use of anticoagulants 10 days before surgery\n* Coagulopathy that could not be corrected'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT01756534', 'briefTitle': 'Oxidized Cellulose Hemostatic Agent in Thyroid Surgery: a Prospective Randomized Controlled Study', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER_GOV', 'fullName': 'Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center'}, 'officialTitle': 'The Effectiveness of an Oxidized Cellulose Patch Hemostatic Agent in Thyroid Surgery: a Prospective Randomized Controlled Study', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'TASMC-ZG-AA-0633-CTIL'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'NO_INTERVENTION', 'label': 'CONVENTIONAL HEMOSTASIS', 'description': 'patients for whom conventional surgical procedures (i. e., ligatures and bipolar electrocautery alone) were used to achieve hemostasis'}, {'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'SURGICEL', 'description': 'patients will receive an oxidized cellulose patch (Surgicel®) in addition to conventional surgical procedures (i. e., ligatures and bipolar electrocautery alone)', 'interventionNames': ['Device: SURGICEL']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'SURGICEL', 'type': 'DEVICE', 'description': 'Surgicel® (Johnson and Johnson, New Brunswick, NJ, USA), an oxidized cellulose hemostatic agent, is indicated in surgical procedures as an adjunct to hemostasis when control of bleeding by ligature or other conventional procedures is ineffective or impractical.', 'armGroupLabels': ['SURGICEL']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '66234', 'city': 'Tel Aviv', 'country': 'Israel', 'facility': 'Tel Aviv Medical Center', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 32.08088, 'lon': 34.78057}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'ZIV GIL, MD PhD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center', 'class': 'OTHER_GOV'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'SPONSOR'}}}}
