The nodule is 30*14mm, it is possible to use radiofrequency ablation, the original lesion will definitely be absorbed after the operation, it is only a matter of time.
The ablation procedure is minimally invasive, the patient does not have a visible incision, but only through a catheter, guide needle into the breast nodule, for a complete radical cure. Ultrasound-guided monitoring ablation therapy is a reliable new method of ultra-minimally invasive treatment of thyroid nodules that is accurately localized, targeted, minimally invasive, and effective, and is even better than traditional resection.
Ablation therapy causes the lesion to necrose in its original location and gradually shrink until it disappears. The original lesion area is replaced by normal thyroid tissue. Therefore, patients must first be prepared for the fact that the nodules will remain for some time after treatment.
There are significant individual differences in the rate of absorption after ablation, which is related to the patient's immune function status and the size of the original lesion. However, there is no need to worry, most of the nodules will disappear after one year of follow-up, and the absorption of the ablation necrotic zone is extremely slow in some patients, which exists for several years and will not bring any adverse effects to the patients.

Difference between ablation therapy and surgical resection:
1. The principle of the procedure is different. Surgical removal is often referred to as surgery, which, in short, means removing the lesion of the thyroid gland and taking it out of the body. Ablation therapy means not removing the lesion and taking it out of the body, but keeping it in its original anatomical position and causing necrosis of the lesion through heat-generating techniques such as microwave, radiofrequency or laser.
2, the operating doctor is different. Excision can only be operated by a surgeon. Ablation therapy can be performed not only by surgeons, but also by ultrasound doctors.
2, the patient feels different. The advantages of ablation therapy are small trauma, no skin scars, extremely fast recovery after treatment, short hospitalization time, and a very high recovery index. It can not only completely inactivate the lesions, but also protect the patient's normal thyroid function, avoiding the inconvenience and trouble caused by long-term use of Avec. The excision surgery wound is bigger and the recovery is slower.
3. Different requirements for doctors. Usually for a sonographer who has experience in systematic interventional ultrasound therapy, after 3 months of intensive study, he can basically master the technical methods and techniques of ablation therapy. However, full mastery and control of excisional treatment of thyroid nodules requires extensive basic knowledge of medical and surgical procedures as well as specialized knowledge of examination and pathology.
