Enhancing Access to Thyroid Radiofrequency Ablation in Puerto Rico
Enhancing Access to Thyroid Radiofrequency Ablation in Puerto Rico
Dr. Laureano Giráldez has been a pioneer in making Thyroid Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) available to patients in Puerto Rico since 2022. This innovative technique provides sufferers of benign thyroid nodules with a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment option, significantly enhancing both their quality of life and the accessibility of thyroid care in the region.
A Revolutionary Option for Patients
Thyroid RFA stands out as a transformative procedure that effectively reduces the size of thyroid nodules while preserving normal thyroid function. Patients often experience a reduction in symptoms associated with these nodules, such as difficulty swallowing, discomfort, and cosmetic concerns. Remarkably, clinical studies indicate that patients can expect an impressive up to an 80% reduction in nodule size within a year. This is achieved without the complications often associated with traditional thyroid surgery or the necessity for lifelong hormone therapy.
Dr. Giráldez remarks on the positive impact of RFA: “Since introducing this procedure in 2022, I have witnessed firsthand how it significantly aids patients in avoiding surgery while effectively addressing their thyroid nodules. The outcomes are excellent, and patients experience minimal downtime.” His commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions places him at the forefront of advancements in ENT procedures.
Insurance Coverage and Procedure Details
In an important stride towards accessibility, insurance coverage for Thyroid RFA has become available, which is crucial for many patients seeking this treatment. Coverage, however, may vary depending on individual insurance plans, prompting patients to verify their eligibility with their respective providers.
The RFA procedure is conveniently conducted in the office under local anesthesia, typically lasting between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the nodule in question. Post-procedure, patients are monitored for an additional one to two hours to ensure their safety before discharge. Dr. Giráldez utilizes STARmed's advanced radiofrequency technology, celebrated for its clinical efficacy and safety as the leading RF technology in over 80% of clinical studies pertaining to thyroid RFA.
Growing Preference for Non-Surgical Treatments
As awareness and demand for non-surgical thyroid treatments surge, RFA is quickly becoming a preferred option among both medical practitioners and patients alike. Its skillful application can spare patients from the stress and risks associated with invasive surgery.
