Abstract Background: Ultrasound-guided percutaneous laser ablation, as a minimally invasive ablation method, has been widely used in the treatment of benign and malignant tumors. The objective of the current study is to determine the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided percutaneous laser ablation (PLA) for unifocal papillary thyroid micro carcinomas (PTMC).Methods: A total of 18 patients were included in this study. Patients with a single PTMC were treated via the PLA method, and postoperative complications, tumor size and recurrence rate were followed up and recorded.Results: Data suggested that three patients underwent a secondary ablation, and the remaining 15 patients underwent a single ablation without serious complications. No recurrence or metastasis was found among the follow-up patients, and the tumor sizes decreased significantly from 12 months following PLA treatment.Conclusions: Ultrasound-guided PLA is a new therapeutic means that can be used as an alternative to PTMC treatment.
