Minimally invasive thyroid ablation is generally more effective in treating thyroid nodules, but the specific choice of surgery or minimally invasive ablation treatment needs to be based on the condition under the guidance of your doctor. Ultrasound-guided minimally invasive thyroid intervention is a minimally invasive technique developed in the last 20 years. It has made great progress and gradually replaced traditional surgery in some cases, which greatly reduces patients’ pain and concerns. There are two main types of ablation: chemical ablation and thermal ablation. Thermal ablation is further divided into laser ablation, radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation and high-intensity focused ultrasound ablation. Thyroid ablation is guided by ultrasound and uses microwave or radiofrequency technology to generate heat at the nodule to inactivate its diseased tissue cells and ultimately achieve the therapeutic purpose. Thyroid ablation has the advantages of short time, less bleeding, minimally invasive and no surgical scars. However, there are more important structures around the thyroid gland, and the soft tissue edema in the neck is heavier during and after the ablation procedure. Patients who need thyroid ablation should be treated under the supervision of a doctor.
