Abstract

Objective: Currently, minimally invasive thermal ablation treatments are used more frequently to reduce symptomatic benign thyroid nodules. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of thyroid radiofrequency ablation (RFA) therapy on symptom and cosmetic score, which are clinical indicators of nodule shrinkage. Methods: A total of 40 thyroid nodules from 40 consecutive patients who underwent ultrasound-guided RFA for symptomatic benign thyroid nodules from September 2018 to July 2020 in the endocrinology outpatient clinic were included in the study. Volume of thyroid nodules, volume reduction rate (VRR%), symptom and cosmetic score were evaluated before and 1 year after RFA treatment. Results: Eighteen (45%) of the cases were male, 22 (55%) were female, and the mean age was 46±9. The baseline cosmetic score decreased from 3.3±0.75 to 1.4±0.49 at the end of the 12th month (p

Özet

Amaç: Günümüzde minimal invaziv termal ablasyon tedavileri semptomatik benign tiroid nodüllerini küçültmek için daha sık kullanılmaya başlanılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, bir termal ablatif metod olan tiroid radyofrekans ablasyon (RFA) tedavisinin nodül küçülmesinin klinik göstergesi olan semptom ve kozmetik skorları üzerine etkisini araştırmaktır. Yöntem: Endokrinoloji polikliniğine Eylül 2018’den Temmuz 2020’ye kadar semptomatik benign ötiroid nodüller için ultrason kılavuzluğunda RFA uygulanan, ardışık 40 hastadan toplam 40 tiroid nodülü çalışmaya dahil edildi. RFA tedavisi öncesi ve 1 yıl sonrası tiroid nodüllerinin volümleri, hacim küçülme oranları (%HKO), semptom ve kozmetik skorları değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Olguların 18’i (%45) erkek, 22’si (%55) kadın olup, yaş ortalaması 45,78±9,40 idi. Başlangıç kozmetik skoru 3,3±0,75’ten 12. ayın sonunda 1,4±0,49’a geriledi (p
