Radiofrequency Ablation as a Safe and Effective Treatment for Thyroid Nodules After Lobectomy
ABSTRACT Background A new symptomatic nodule may develop or a preexisting nodule may grow to warrant treatment in the remaining lobe of patients who previously had a unilateral thyroid lobectomy. Conventional management often results in completion thyroidectomy, but radiofrequency ablation (RFA) offers a minimally invasive alternative to surgical ...

The Impact of Etiology on Time to Vocal Fold Motion Recovery in Unilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis. [PDF]
The time course of vocal fold motion recovery in UVFP reflects the underlying etiologies. This study showed that there was no difference in the time to recovery between UVFP from cardiothoracic versus thyroid/parathyroid surgeries, challenging the long‐held assumption that recovery time is proportional to the distance between injury site and larynx ...
