Abstract

OBJECTIVE. We evaluated the efficacy of sonographically guided percutaneous which have a higher risk of complications, for treatment of autonomously functioning injection of ethanol as an alternative to surgery and administration of radioiodine, which have a higher risk of complications, for treatment of autonomously functioning thyroid nodules that may develop hyperthyroidism.
