• MWA achieved comparable short-term treatment efficacy with surgery. MWA might be an optional choice for surgery for low-risk T1bN0M0 PTC but concerns about LNM need to be studied further. • The complication rate in the surgery group was higher than that in the MWA group without a significant difference. • There was no statistically significant difference in the LNM rate between the MWA and surgery groups.
