Abstract
Over the recent decade, the method of radiofrequency ablation has been increasingly used for treatment of thyroid nodules. However, there is clear need for additional morphological experimental works on evaluating the effectiveness of application of different devices. This work presents results of investigation of an original device operating on the principle of bipolar radiofrequency ablation, and its high effectiveness in eliminating thyroid nodules with different consistencies and malignancy potentials has been proven, which offers broad prospects for introducing the patented radiofrequency-ablation applicator into practice, alongside other methods of minimally invasive surgery.
