On the afternoon of April 22, Military Hospital 7 received the technique of treating thyroid tumors and hemorrhoids using radiofrequency ablation (RFA) from Sukhbaata Hospital (Mongolia).
Radiofrequency ablation of the thyroid and hemorrhoids is a method that helps destroy thyroid nodules by heat due to the friction of ions in the tissue under the influence of alternating current with high frequency waves, leading to necrosis and thermal fibrosis of tissue.
This is the newest and most modern method in the treatment of thyroid tumors and hemorrhoids, bringing many benefits to patients compared to other treatment methods. That is, patients do not have to make invasive skin incisions, so there is no scarring; the rate of damage to the recurrent laryngeal nerve is very low, with less risk of hoarseness compared to surgery (for patients with thyroid tumors). This method is being applied in many hospitals nationwide, including Hai Duong General Hospital.
The above method also helps to limit risks compared to traditional surgery such as surgical site infection, bleeding during and after surgery. Using this method does not require anesthesia, so after radiofrequency ablation, the patient only needs to be monitored for 30 minutes to 1 hour before being able to go home, live and work normally, without abstinence. The patient feels almost no pain, no dangerous complications.
Radiofrequency ablation is indicated for some cases of benign thyroid nodules measuring 5cm-6cm; for cancers smaller than 2cm. For hemorrhoids, radiofrequency ablation is applied to all types of hemorrhoids (levels 2,3,4) and recurrent hemorrhoids.
Immediately after the technical transfer, Military Hospital 7 performed high-frequency radio wave ablation for 3 patients with benign thyroid tumors and 1 case of hemorrhoids.
