As private endocrinologists, we treat our patients with ethanol and RF ablation for cysts,benign nodules and small papillary thyroid cancers instead of active surveillance or surgery. The procedure is done in our treatment room in our office. We use only local to control pain. The injection of local to the area of the thyroid capsule is enough to prevent pain. There are no nerve endings in the thyroid gland or nodule.The patient is fully awake during the procedures and can tell us if they are have any problems. Voice changes which have not happened in our cases, can be rapidly treated during the procedure with iced dextrose injection to the area of the nerve. They have been reported to rapidly improve allowing the procedure to continue. Slow recovery may cause the procedure to be aborted.
