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
