- W2791676922 abstract "Benign thyroid nodules occur commonly but only require treatment when symptomatic. Surgical treatment, once routine, has been replaced by newer technologies, such as microwave ablation (MWA). The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy, tolerability and cost of MWA compared to surgery to treat benign thyroid nodules.After obtaining ethical approval and informed consent, a prospective trial was conducted with 52 patients who had symptomatic benign thyroid nodules. Patients were randomly assigned to receive MWA or surgical treatment. The volume reduction ratio (VRR), thyroid function, complications, HRQoL, costs and some parameters were compared.MWA reduced mean nodule volume by 72.3% at 3 months, 84.5% at 6 months and 92.4% at 12 months as effective as surgery in inactivating nodules, and thyroid dysfunction did not occur during 12-month follow-up for those receiving MWA. Although both MWA and surgery were safe, patients undergoing MWA had fewer cases of complications and rarely reported pain. The MWA group was superior to the surgery group in length of stay, postoperative scar length and the operation time. Compared to patients who underwent surgery, those who underwent MWA had better general health and mental health scores at 6 months and 12 months. The mean total cost of the MWA group was lower than that of the surgery group.MWA can significantly reduce nodule volume and nodule-related symptoms with more rapid recovery, more pleasing esthetic outcomes, less physiologic disruption and less expense compared to the surgery." @default.
