Polynucleotide injection to improve neck scar healing after thyroid or parathyroid surgery
This study tests whether an injection of a polynucleotide solution (a natural compound that may help tissue repair) into the surgical wound during neck surgery can improve the appearance and quality of the scar afterwards. It is for adults aged 40 to 60 who are having their first anterior neck surgery.
