Effects of energy-based ablation on thyroid function in treating benign thyroid nodules: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: Energy-based ablation was more likely to have negative effects on thyroid function and antibodies and led to transient increase in Tg level in the short term. However, most of the patients would not develop any thyroid dysfunction in the long-term follow-up. PMID: 32981370 [PubMed - in process]
