Official title
A Prospective, Randomized, Multi-Center Trial Assessing Post-Operative Outcomes Following Pediatric Sistrunk Procedures With or Without Drain Placement
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Purpose of the Study: This study looks at how kids recover after a type of neck surgery called the Sistrunk procedure. Some kids have a small tube (called a drain) placed during surgery, and some do not. The goal is to see if using a drain makes a difference in how well they heal. Who Is in the Study: Children who are having surgery to remove a thyroglossal duct cyst-a common lump in the neck that some kids are born with. Main Questions the Study Wants to Answer: Does using a drain lower the chance of problems at the surgery site? Does using a drain change how often kids need more treatment or have to go back to the hospital? What Will Happen: Kids will have the Sistrunk surgery, with or without a drain. Doctors will watch how they heal and check for any problems, like infections, needing more procedures, or going back to the hospital.
