Objective To explore the feasibility strategy for patients’ fast track after the operation of thyroid papillary carcinoma with no drainage tube application.Methods Patients undergone the operation of thyroid papillary carcinoma from June 2017 to March 2018 were enrolled in this retrospective study. All patients were from the same medical teams composed with the same attending doctors. They were divided into two groups according to the drainage tube applied or not. Finally the incidence of postoperative hematoma, incisional infection, and subcutaneous effusion were compared between the two groups, while the length of stay, pain score after operation, and satisfaction of patients were also analyzed.Results The incidences of postoperative hematoma, incisional infection, and subcutaneous effusion were totally similar between the two groups. While the length of stay and pain score were significantly shorter or lower, satisfaction of patients were higher in group of no drainage tube applied (P<0.05).Conclusions The operation of total thyroidectomy plus bilateral central lymph node dissection for papillary thyroid cancer without drainage tube will not increase the probability of complications such as hematoma, incisional infection and subcutaneous effusion. On the contrary, it can shorten hospitalization time, reduce wound pain and improve patient satisfaction in the concept of rapid rehabilitation.
