Abstract

Objective: To analyze the application effects of ultrasound-guided microwave ablation at different energy levels in the treatment of thyroid nodules. Methods: A total of 72 patients with thyroid nodules from November 2022 to November 2023 were selected for the study. They were randomly divided into a control group of 36 cases, treated with traditional surgery, and an observation group of 36 cases, treated with microwave ablation. The clinical efficacy of the two groups was compared. Results: The levels of T4 and T3 in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group. The incidence of complications, TSH levels, hospitalization time, intraoperative blood loss, surgical time, and VAS scores were significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). The average volume reduction rate of nodules in the observation group showed a significant increase trend with the extension of ablation time, with the average volume initially decreasing and then increasing (P<0.05). Conclusion: Microwave ablation therapy for thyroid nodules can enhance therapeutic effects, improve thyroid function, prevent complications, and has potential for wider application.
