Thyroid nodules ablation is an established, minimally invasive treatment for symptomatic benign thyroid nodules as an alternative to surgical hemi or total thyroidectomy. Thermal ablation refers to the heating of a nodule to cause necrosis, followed by nodule shrinkage over 6 to 12 months.

This is typically performed as a day procedure lasting about 45 minutes. We then monitor the patient in the hospital for the following 4 to 6 hours before being discharged home. There is typically no out-of-pocket expense for public-eligible patients.
