Thyroid Nodule Treatment | Microwave Ablation of Thyroid Nodules

Microwave ablation is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat thyroid nodules. It uses high-frequency energy in the form of microwaves to heat and destroy the abnormal tissue. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, and involves the insertion of a thin needle into the nodule. The microwave energy is then delivered through the needle, heating and destroying the tissue. This procedure is generally considered to be safe and effective, with low complication rates. However, it is not recommended for all types of thyroid nodules and further evaluation by endocrinologist is needed for the diagnosis and management.
