The Thyroid Ablation & Embolisation Program at Aster MIMS Calicut offers an advanced, non-surgical option for patients with benign thyroid nodules. Many thyroid nodules cause swelling, discomfort, or cosmetic concerns, yet are not cancerous.
For such cases, microwave /radiofrequency ablation provides a safe and scar-free alternative to thyroid surgery..
In this minimally invasive procedure, guided by ultrasound imaging, a thin probe is inserted into the thyroid nodule. Controlled thermal energy precisely destroys the targeted tissue while preserving healthy thyroid function. Over the following weeks, the treated nodule shrinks, relieving symptoms and improving neck appearance without the need for lifelong medication or surgical scars.
Thyroid artery embolization involves blocking of the arterial supply to the nodules in selected cases of non surgical patients for better efficacy and safety
Aster MIMS Calicut is is the topmost centre offering this cutting-edge technique in India. We have so far done the highest number of the most successful & safe Pinhole Thyroid interventions in the whole country .
Our Interventional Radiology and Endocrinology teams work together to ensure accurate diagnosis, safe procedure planning, and personalised aftercare.
For patients who wish to avoid surgery and maintain their thyroid’s natural function, thyroid ablation is a simple, effective, and empowering choice.
