The Thyroid Clinic

Patient with Papillary Thyroid Cancer

Patient had a right vocal cord paralysis unfortunately with her first surgery.

Now with left central neck recurrence on FNA, surgical consultant is concerned that attempt at repeat surgery risks a injury to the left recurrent laryngeal nerve, and that this would lead to a tracheostomy and permanent voice issues.
RFA is a alternative to this scenario , We are planning to use hydrodissection technique to inject cold D5W behind the mass in the TE groove to protect the nerve and then do radiofrequency ablation of this metastatic node with 0.5 cm active tip.

We have made this move to outpatient in office treatment after our successful publication confirming our results recently shared at the Endocrine Society National meeting

We are the most experienced clinic offering this technique in the United States

Being able to offer this nonsurgical cutting age minimally invasive technique in a painless setting in our office makes it more convenient and much more affordable

Other centers are advertising locally for this technique but lack the experience and frequently are in surgical offices and might funnell patient to surgery rather than this very effective technique which helps patients preserve their thyroid function with much lower complications

We are Currently evaluating Patient's For treatment to be scheduled in June"

Pioneering cutting edge non-surgical alternatives for the treatment of benign thyroid nodules
