A drain tube is inserted after a thyroidectomy to prevent the accumulation of blood and fluid in the surgical area, which can lead to complications such as hematoma or seroma. By allowing excess fluid to escape, the drain helps reduce pressure on the surgical site and promotes proper healing. It also aids in monitoring any unusual bleeding or drainage, ensuring early intervention if necessary.
