Review Meta Analysis Comparative StudyComparative efficacy of radiofrequency and laser ablation for the treatment of benign thyroid nodules: systematic review including traditional pooling and bayesian network meta-analysis.
To compare the efficacy of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and laser ablation (LA) for treatment of benign solid thyroid nodules, using a systematic review including traditional pooling and Bayesian network meta-analysis. ⋯ RFA appears to be superior to LA in reducing benign solid thyroid nodule volume, despite the smaller number of treatment sessions without major side effects.
