Benign thyroid nodule unresponsive to radiofrequency ablation treated with laser ablation: a case report

摘要

BackgroundRadiofrequency ablation and laser ablation are safe and effective techniques for reducing thyroid nodule volume, neck symptoms, and cosmetic complaints. Therapeutic success is defined as a nodule reduction > 50% between 6 and 12 months after the procedure, but a percentage of nodules inexplicably do not respond to thermal ablation.
