Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for benign thyroid neoplasms with a cosmetic score of more than 3.


Materials and Methods: This prospective study was performed on 60 patients with benign thyroid nodules with a cosmetic score of more than 3 by radiofrequency ablation under ultrasound guidance at 108 Military Central Hospital from January 1. 2021 to July 2022. We evaluated the change in cosmetic, volume, angiogenesis, and clinical symptoms of patients at 1, 3, and 6 months after the intervention as well as complications, complications during intervention and treatment monitoring.


Results: Most patients are female, accounting for 91.7%. The most common age group is from 30 to 50 years old, accounting for 45% and the average age is 43.2 years old. Grade 3 and grade 4 cosmetic scores are equivalent. After 6 months of RFA, the angiogenesis score decreased to 24%, followed by the volume of thyroid nodules decreasing to 37%. The score of symptoms and cosmetics decreased by about 50% compared to before treatment. Complications were mild pain and mild hematoma after RFA, accounting for 5%.


Conclusion: Radiofrequency ablation is an effective and safe method for improving the cosmetic point of the neck in the treatment of benign thyroid nodules.
