Laser ablation of thyroid nodules
Laser ablation of thyroid nodules is a minimally invasive procedure indicated to treat benign thyroid lesions such as cold nodules or single nodules within a multinodular goiter. The technique consists in the destruction of the tissue by the insertion therein of optical fibers which convey the light energy, causing a complete and not reversible lesions necrosis. The therapeutic outcome is the reduction in volume of the nodule, and as a result of local symptoms, such as compression, and reduction or loss of visibility of nodular goiter.
The goal of therapy is to destroy the lesion without removing the organ, thus preserving its normal anatomy.
Once documented the benign nature of the nodule, the selection criteria for treatment with the laser concern injuries sufficiently massive to create cosmetic damages or local compressive symptoms and those patients who have contraindications at surgery or anesthesia or will not, for aesthetic reasons, to undergo surgery.
==How is performed the treatment==
The laser ablation of thyroid nodules is performed in Day Hospital or Day-Surgery. The patient undergoes a mild sedation (the same type of procedure that is used when you perform an endoscopic examination) and after treatment promptly recover the fullness of his knowledge. Carried out under local anesthetic, under ultrasound guidance are placed inside of the nodule one or two needles, depending on the size of the nodule. Through the lumen of the needles are conveyed extremely thin optical fibers connected to a laser system. The total time of treatment is about 30 min, but the application of laser energy is approximately 10-12 min. The rest of the time is related to the patient preparation and his control later to therapy.
