Second Department of Thyroid Surgery successfully performed ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation of thyroid nodules

  Although the application of lumpectomy thyroid surgery and Maccoli surgery has shifted or reduced the surgical incision to a certain extent, they all cause trauma to patients to varying degrees. Qiu Xinguang, Director of the Second Department of Surgery, has long been dedicated to the individualized and minimally invasive treatment of patients with thyroid disease. Li Jianhua, General Surgery Department, First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University On March 22, 2014, the Second Department of Thyroid Surgery of Zhengzhou University, under the leadership of Director Qiu Xinguang, successfully performed ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation of thyroid nodules under local anesthesia for six patients with benign thyroid nodules in the Day Surgery Department, and the patients recovered well after the operation, leaving only about 1-2mm puncture marks in the neck.  The technique of radiofrequency ablation of thyroid nodules (MovingShot) is a technique to ablate thyroid nodules by conceiving them as multiple small ablation units, sending electrode needles to the distal end of the nodules, and ablating them while the needles are moving back.  It has the following advantages 1. Less trauma and less pain.  2.Local anesthesia, quick recovery after surgery, short hospitalization time.  3.Postoperative almost does not affect the patient’s original thyroid function, reducing the chance of patients taking long-term medication.  4, no surgical incision, truly minimally invasive, cosmetic, does not affect the aesthetic; 5, the cost in the provincial and municipal medical insurance and the new agricultural cooperative medical reimbursement category.
