In all thyroid surgeries, many surgeons utilize drains on a regular basis and have done so for years according to recommendations. Due to the thyroid's high vascularization throughout its endocrine function, any haemorrhage inside the closed paratracheal space has the potential to impede venous and lymphatic drainage, which might result in airway blockage and laryngopharyngeal oedema. Surgeons routinely perform post-operative thyroid gland draining in the modern surgical field. The goal is to stop fluid from accumulating in the surgical wound site, which could constrict the patient's trachea and jeopardize their life.

Thyroid storm, hypocalcemia, hematoma/haemorrhage impairing airway, recurrent or superior laryngeal nerve damage, and wound problems such as wound infection are among the main post-operative consequences of thyroid surgery.

Some reports indicate the use of drains following thyroid surgery is not very beneficial. Some researchers have been prompted by this to consider whether drains should be inserted during thyroid surgery in which several research papers and meta-analyses have also failed to demonstrate the benefit of drainage in thyroid surgery. Blood clots in the drains could cause severe post-operative bleeding, preventing the surgeon from being notified. Difficult thyroidectomy cases might be predicted by factors linked to the patient, the thyroid, or the surgeon.

When thyroidectomies are performed under ideal conditions-that is, in a setting where good anatomical and physiological expertise is matched with meticulous surgical skills-complications are rare. The ability of the surgeon to do a thyroid surgery without difficulties is crucial. It is not possible to see routine drain use as a substitute for these components.

Percutaneous drains are frequently used in head and neck surgery cases. However, although effective at preventing post-operative haematoma formation, their use can also be associated with significant complications, including infection, fistulae, pain, psychosocial implications and most notably, prolongation of hospital stay.

Accordingly, some researchers that reject the use of intraoperative drains, there isn't a very high rate of wound hemorrhages following thyroid surgery. Additionally, other research indicates that there is no difference in the two groups' incidence of post-operative problems with and without drainage.

Nearly all surgeons utilize a closed vacuum drain after the intervention to avoid the deadliest complication, a smothering haemorrhage, which several studies suggest may not be essential
