Ms. Zhang is an elementary school teacher, in her thirties, with a pretty face, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, looking very gentle and elegant, usually devoted to teaching work, is a good teacher in the eyes of parents and children. Two years ago, during a physical examination organized by the school, an ultrasound examination revealed a nodule on the left side of the thyroid gland, about the size of a quail’s egg, and she had two thyroid nodule punctures at our hospital in the past two years. Although she was explained many times that the nodule was benign, and that she should follow it up for observation and leave it alone for the time being, Ms. Zhang always felt that there was something stuck in her throat, and she felt discomfort in her neck when eating, swallowing, and even breathing. The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. When she came to the clinic a week ago, it was obvious that she was anxious and kept asking if the nodule was related. She was not very receptive to our answer of regular follow-up, and she was hesitant to propose surgery, worrying that the surgical scar would affect her aesthetics and make her lose confidence on the podium. Knowing Ms. Zhang’s concerns, we recommended to her a method that could achieve the treatment goal without the need for surgery – microwave ablation of thyroid nodules. Microwave ablation of thyroid nodules is a new technology that does not require an incision, but only ultrasound-guided microwave knife puncture into the thyroid nodules for ablation, which is a minimally invasive treatment method. The use of microwave ablation for the treatment of thyroid nodules has incomparable advantages over traditional treatment methods. Not only is the positioning accurate, but the scope of tissue coagulation and necrosis is precise, and the surgical efficacy is exact, but also the operation is simple, the degree of tissue damage is light, recovery is fast, there are few complications, safety is high, treatment can be repeated, thyroid function is not affected, there are no surgical scars, and the operation and hospital stay are much shorter than traditional open surgery. After learning about the many features of this new technology, Mr. Zhang decided to treat it decisively. He was admitted to the hospital on Monday afternoon, made the necessary preoperative preparations on Tuesday, and underwent surgery on Wednesday morning. After some simple preparations, the surgery began, with disinfection, towel laying, local anesthesia, fluid isolation, microwave ablation, and every step was carried out in an orderly manner, and the surgery was successfully completed in only 40 minutes. She was happily discharged from the hospital that afternoon. At her first follow-up visit a week later, not only were there no surgical scars on her neck, but also the marks of the original puncture had almost disappeared. In fact, what we should be more grateful for is the revolution in methodology brought by high technology, which enables beauty lovers like Ms. Zhang to solve their problems and eliminate their psychological shadows without leaving surgical scars, maintain their beauty and self-confidence, and go back to their work life with confidence. Every time we look at her smiling back, we feel deeply relieved and understand more about the heavy responsibility. Is it not our pursuit as doctors to relieve the pain of every patient and let them return satisfied? The road is long and far!
