A cost-effective porcine training model for thermal ablation of thyroid nodules and subsequent transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy
This study presents a cost-effective porcine training model for TA followed by neck surgery. The model provided a realistic simulation of human procedures and enabled immediate assessment of structural injuries, demonstrating its potential for use in TA training prior to human procedures.
