When it comes to thyroid nodule treatment, patients today prefer safer and faster options. Thyroid Nodule Ablation has become a game-changer — offering a non-surgical, minimally invasive way to shrink benign thyroid nodules while preserving thyroid function.
Thyroid Nodule Ablation (TNA) is a minimally invasive treatment that uses heat energy (radiofrequency or microwave) to shrink thyroid nodules. It is performed under local anesthesia using ultrasound guidance — without cutting or removing the thyroid gland.
This method effectively treats benign nodules that cause neck swelling, cosmetic issues, or discomfort while maintaining natural thyroid function.
| Feature | Thyroid Surgery | Thyroid Nodule Ablation |
|---|---|---|
| Procedure Type | Open neck incision | Needle-based, no incision |
| Anesthesia | General | Local |
| Hospital Stay | 2–3 days | Same-day discharge |
| Scar | Visible neck scar | No visible scar |
| Thyroid Function | Often reduced | Preserved |
| Recovery Time | 2–4 weeks | 1–2 days |
Requires only a small needle puncture with no surgical cut or stitches.
Targets only the nodule — healthy thyroid tissue remains intact.
Most patients return to normal activities within 24–48 hours.
No general anesthesia or large wounds, reducing risks of bleeding, infection, or nerve injury.
The thyroid nodule ablation cost in Hyderabad ranges between ₹40,000 and ₹1,50,000, depending on the nodule’s size and complexity. It’s often more cost-effective than surgery when you consider shorter recovery and no need for long-term thyroid medication.
Thyroid Nodule Ablation is ideal for:
Benign nodules causing cosmetic or compressive symptoms
Patients wanting to avoid surgery or scarring
Those wishing to preserve thyroid function
People seeking quick recovery and minimal downtime
