What is Thyroid Alcohol
Cyst Ablation?

Thyroid alcohol cyst ablation, also called ethanol ablation, is a minimally invasive, image-guided procedure used to treat fluid-filled thyroid cysts. A small needle is inserted into the cyst under ultrasound guidance, the fluid is drained, and a small amount of medical alcohol is injected to shrink the cyst and prevent it from refilling — without surgery.
