Measure
Percutaneous Ethanol Ablation
The experimental group of the study is comprised of patients that will undergo percutaneous ethanol ablation for the management of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma. percutaneous ethanol ablation: The volume of 99% ethanol to be injected is calculated using a standardized formula. Ethanol is instilled with a needle under ultrasound guidance after administration of local anesthesia.

The Short-Form-36 (SF-36) health survey is a patient-reported survery that evaluates the patient's health status. It consists of 8 scaled scores which are the weighted sums of the questions in each section. The 8 sections that are tested are vitality, physical functioning, bodily pain, general role functioning, emotional role functioning, social role functioning, and mental health. Each scale is directly transformed into a 0-100 scale; the higher the score, the less disability (i.e. the score of 0 is equivalent to maximal disability, and the score of 100 is equivalent of no disability). The SF-36 is a set of easily-administered quality-of-life measures and is a validated tool to evaluate patient quality of life.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 5 years

Population: Patients were not followed as the study was terminated.

Patient satisfaction will be assessed by evaluating the following: pain with the "Brief Pain Inventory" (BPI), voice with the "Voice Handicap Index" (VHI) and cosmesis with the "Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale" (POSAS). The BPI is a simple, well-accepted instrument for the objective assessment of pain. The VHI is an established tool used to assess voice after an intervention. POSAS is a validated tool for the evaluation of surgical scars.
