Tisseel® Kits were used instead of epidermal sutures in order to prevent suture marks in ten young patients with thyroid disease who were treated surgically from June 1988 to Feb. 1989. There were no complications due to Tisseel®. No suture marks were seen in the scars, but slightly hypertrophic scars were seen in two patients. The Use of Tisseel® instead of epidermal sutures is a useful and easy method to prevent suture marks in thyroid surgery, and it reduces the time required for operation and the duration of hospitalization.
