Frequently asked questions
Thyroid nodule ablation is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat benign thyroid nodules. It involves the use of heat or other techniques to reduce the size of the nodule and alleviate symptoms without the need for surgery.
Dr. Rohit Madhurkar is a renowned specialist in minimally invasive procedures for thyroid nodules. He has extensive experience in performing thyroid nodule ablations and is known for his expertise and patient-centered approach.
Thyroid nodule ablation is typically used for benign thyroid nodules that are causing symptoms such as swelling, discomfort, or cosmetic concerns. It is not used for malignant (cancerous) nodules.
The procedure is performed using ultrasound guidance to precisely target the nodule. A small needle or probe is inserted into the nodule, and heat (radiofrequency, laser, or microwave) is applied to ablate the tissue. The procedure is usually done under local anesthesia.
The benefits include:
- Minimally invasive: No large incisions or stitches are required.
- Quick recovery: Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days.
- Effective: Significant reduction in nodule size and symptoms.
- Cosmetic advantage: No visible scarring.
As with any medical procedure, there are some risks, including pain, swelling, and infection at the treatment site. However, serious complications are rare, and most patients experience only mild side effects.
The procedure typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes to complete, depending on the size and number of nodules being treated.
After the procedure, patients may experience mild pain or swelling in the neck area. These symptoms usually subside within a few days. Most patients can return to their normal activities within 1-2 days.
Studies have shown that thyroid nodule ablation can reduce the size of nodules by 50-90% over several months. The effectiveness may vary depending on the size and characteristics of the nodule.
Coverage for thyroid nodule ablation varies by insurance provider and plan. It is recommended to check with your insurance company to determine if the procedure is covered.
