Ablation and thyroid surgery compared
Prices for thyroid surgery vary between hospitals and surgeons, so ask for an itemised quote. The treatment itself differs in ways that matter to the whole cost of care.
| Thyroid surgery | Ablation | |
|---|---|---|
| Neck incision | Yes | No, a needle entry point [1] |
| Anaesthesia | General | Local, guided by ultrasound [1] |
| Hospital stay | Mean 6.6 days in one comparison [2] | Day care, same-day discharge at Clinic Seven |
| Thyroid tablets afterwards | Hypothyroidism in 71.5% in the same 200-patient comparison [2] | None in that comparison [2] |

Will insurance cover it?
Cashless treatment can be arranged with major Indian health insurers and TPAs, and credit treatment is available for CGHS and Singareni beneficiaries. Whether your policy covers the procedure, and how much, is confirmed only after a policy check, so please carry your policy details and TPA card to the first visit. The care team handles the insurance approval and paperwork end to end.
Before you decide
Bring your thyroid ultrasound, FNAC report and thyroid function tests, and ask:
- Has my nodule been proven benign on biopsy?
- Is ablation or embolization being advised for me, and why?
- What does the quote include, and what is extra?
- What is the plan if the nodule regrows?
