Dr. James Suliburk, endocrine surgeon at Baylor Medicine, explains how Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is a great way to get rid of thyroid nodules. Some benefits to RFA over surgery include: - Preserves your healthy thyroid tissue - Allows your thyroid to function normally without the need for a lifetime of medication - Minimally invasive procedure - Performed under local anesthesia - Performed as an out-patient procedure, which means no downtime or hospitalization - Shorter recovery times - No scarring For more info: www.bcm.edu/healthcare/specialties/endocrinology/endocrine-surgery/thyroid-radiofrequency-ablation-rfa
