摘要: Background: The descriptions of the optimal method for placing a cervical collar incision thyroidectomy or parathyroidectomy are varied. It has been our impression that marked in neutral upright neck, migrates superiorly relative to sternal notch when patient is placed supine position. aim this study was investigate validity and assess whether influenced by factors and/or pathology. Methods: Fifty patients undergoing either thyroid parathyroid surgery had planned 1 finger-breadth (17 mm) above sitting When position, with neck extended, distance from remeasured. Patient variables such as body mass index, height, weight circumference were documented prospectively data recorded on operative details tumour pathology. Results: migrated average 21 mm once extended (P = 0. 0001 ).The extent migration independent all factors, type operation pathology. Conclusions: Migration proposed does occur. An inappropriately may lead excessive scarring if it too low, unusual prominence high. We believe good position marking an fingerbreadth neutral,
