Comparing the Impact of AMNIOEFFECT Application vs Standard of Care on Post-Operative Healing in Patients Who Have Undergone Thyroid and Parathyroid Surgery Via the Transcutaneous Approach

The purpose of this study is to understand how placing Amnioeffect on patients having transcutaneous thyroid or parathyroid surgery affects surgery scar appearance, pain, and the ability to swallow and compare it to patients who do not have anything placed during surgery. The Food and Drug Administration regulates the use of Amnioeffect for homologous use. Both Amnioeffect application and no Amnioeffect application are considered standard of care; however, for the purpose of this study, the use of Amnioeffect during surgery will be considered the intervention, and no Amnioeffect application will be the standard of care.
