Method: 30 patients wound were closed by sub-cuticular suture and 30 patients by steristrips followed by Thyroidectomy. Verbal analogue scale and visual analogue scale at different intervals were compared. Moreover cosmetic visual analogue was also compared after 6th week of the surgery. Results: Verbal analogue after 48 hours and visual analogue after 48 hours had significant p value (p<0.001) with steri-strips had excellent results of 93.3% and 6.6% of Good results versus sub-cuticular suture had 80% excellent and 20% good cosmetic appearance. Conclusion: Steri-strips sutures were better in both visual, Verbal and cosmetic analogue and reduce the stay in hospital as compared to sub-cuticular suture technique.
