Alcohol Sclerotherapy for Thyroid Cysts
Surgery is the standard therapy for a benign recurrent thyroid cyst. There are now alternative therapies for recurrent symptomatic thyroid cysts. Percutaneous Ethanol Injection (PEI), was first shown by the Italians to be an effective alternative to surgery. Go see if you are a candidate for this treatment. This is an office procedure with no down time, compared to 3 to 4 day stay in hospital for surgery.
