Thyroid nodules are prevalent, often benign, but some require further evaluation owing to malignancy concerns. Ultrasonography is the preferred method for evaluation, offering insights without radiation exposure. Nonsurgical interventions provide effective management options. Radiofrequency ablation reduces nodule size and symptoms with minimal complications and is performed in an outpatient setting, offering a cost-effective, quick recovery alternative to surgery. Proper training in ultrasound-guided procedures and careful patient selection are crucial for successful implementation. Minimally invasive techniques revolutionize thyroid nodule management, offering effective results with fewer complications.</p>","PeriodicalId":54657,"journal":{"name":"Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144082209","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
