Purpose To compare the effects and safety of using microwave ablation (MWA) and surgical resection for the treatment of benign thyroid nodules (BTNs) under ultrasonic guidance and investigate the effects of this treatment on stress response. Methods Patients with BTNs were divided into the MWA and o...
