Thyroid Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) for Thyroid Nodules | Dr. Maunil Bhuta
Thyroid nodules, even when benign (non-cancerous), can grow visibly large and cause swallowing or breathing difficulties, persistent cough, and hoarseness. Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is a non-surgical treatment option that can reduce the size of thyroid nodules and restore thyroid function. RFA is a minimally-invasive technique performed by an endocrine surgeon guided by ultrasound imaging. The physician delivers targeted radio waves that disrupt the nodule’s cells, causing them to shrink as the body absorbs the ablated tissue.
Why Choose RFA instead of surgery?
Thyroid RFA is a non-surgical treatment for thyroid nodules. It greatly reduces the need for nodule surgery and the use of Radioactive Iodine (RAI). While surgery results in a visible scar, the RFA procedure is minimally invasive and a safe and relatively quick treatment option. RFA also enables patients to resume normal daily activity with minimal recovery time.
