What are the surgical options for benign thyroid nodules?

When it comes to benign thyroid nodules, there are generally nodular goiters and adenomas, which are benign but both have the possibility of malignancy. Depending on the size of the tumor and the site of occurrence, the following surgical procedures are commonly used in clinical practice: 1. Local excision of thyroid adenomas or masses; 2. To prevent recurrence, partial excision, or even major excision of one side of the thyroid lobe, and then more can go to sub-total excision. In addition, bilateral major excision can also be done. 3. radiofrequency ablation of thyroid nodules, which is an emerging means of thyroid nodule treatment in recent years, is less invasive and less expensive.
