Minimally invasive ablation of thyroid adenomas or open surgery, laparoscopic surgery have their own advantages and disadvantages, the choice can be made according to the lesion and physical condition, cost, cosmetic needs.
Minimally invasive ablation of thyroid adenomas can effectively reduce the size of the adenoma and relieve the symptoms of compression. Local anesthesia is often used for ablation surgery, and general anesthesia is not required, which is less risky and suitable for patients who are in poor general condition and cannot tolerate general anesthesia. Ablation surgery is less invasive and less disruptive to thyroid function. However, ablation surgery may result in incomplete ablation and postoperative tissue adhesion.
Open surgery is by far the most commonly used procedure, with shorter operating time, less bleeding, and lower hospitalization as well as surgical costs, but it can leave an aesthetic problem of neck scarring. Lumpectomy is the opposite of open surgery, the operation time is longer, the trauma is big, hospitalization and operation cost is high, but the scar is small and located in the areola, armpit and other foreign body hiding place, the operation is more delicate, not easy to damage the blood vessels and laryngeal recurrent nerve.
It is recommended that the patient should consult the doctor in time and choose the appropriate treatment according to his/her needs and the condition of the lesion.
