Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness ,safety and prospect of ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in treatment of thyroid benign nodules .Methods We analyzed 153 patients with thyroid benign nodules from September 2015 to August 2016 treated by RFA at Department of Thyroid Surgery ,the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University . One month later , we reviewed the thyroid functions after the operation , observed the changes of the nodules after 1 ,3 ,and 6 months ,calculated the volume reduction rate of the nodules , and analyzed the effectiveness of the treatment .Results After treatment ,the maximum diameter and volume of the nodules were significantly reduced in all the patients ( P<0 .05) .The patients' symptoms improved significantly without serious complications . Conclusion Ultrasound-guided RFA has obvious advantages such as fewer complications , less invasiveness , good safety , and definite effectiveness in treating thyroid benign nodules . Therefore ,it has promising prospects in clinical application .
