The authors conclude that RFA is a safe and effective non-surgical treatment. It is particularly valuable for patients who are ineligible for surgery or wish to avoid the risks and scarring associated with a traditional thyroidectomy.

While benign thyroid nodules are often asymptomatic, they can cause cosmetic concerns and physical
discomfort, leading to the need for treatment. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has gained attention as a non-surgical option to reduce nodule size and alleviate symptoms. This study investigates the effectiveness of RFA in treating benign thyroid nodules and its impact on nodule volume and related clinical symptoms.
