Thyroid RadioFrequency Ablation

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive treatment that uses heat energy to safely shrink thyroid nodules. It’s ideal for benign nodules that cause symptoms like a visible lump, discomfort, or pressure in the neck — without needing surgery or a hospital stay.

Why Choose RadioFrequency Ablation (RFA) instead of Surgery?

RFA is an excellent alternative to surgery for patients with benign thyroid nodules, offering numerous advantages:

​

  • No surgical scars – Only a small needle is used, leaving no visible incision.

  • Preserves thyroid function – Unlike surgery, which may require lifelong thyroid hormone replacement, RFA maintains natural thyroid function.

  • Minimal downtime – Most patients return to normal activities within 6 hours.

  • Lower complication rates – Reduced risk of nerve damage and other complications associated with surgery.

  • No general anesthesia required – The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, making it safer for a wider range of patients.

  • no Hospital stay - after an observation period of 1 hour, patients are free to return home. 

How safe is the procedure? 

RFA is a well-established procedure with a strong safety profile. It has been widely used in leading medical centers worldwide, particularly in South Korea, the epicenter of RFA innovation. Our specialists have undergone rigorous training in Seoul, ensuring you receive the highest standard of care. The procedure is performed under ultrasound guidance to ensure precision.

Real Patient Story: Goodbye to Neck Swelling After RFA

This patient came to see us with a visible swelling in her neck, caused by a benign thyroid nodule. She chose to have radiofrequency ablation (RFA) — a gentle, non-surgical treatment that shrinks the nodule without removing the thyroid. In the before photo, you can see the swelling clearly. Just six months after the procedure, the after photo shows a big difference — the nodule had shrunk, and the swelling was gone! She felt great, didn’t need any medication, and was happy to avoid surgery and a scar. It’s a great example of how RFA can offer real relief with a quick recovery.
