(1) Background: The incidence of papillary thyroid cancers is increasing. Papillary neoplasm metastasizes to the central and lateral lymph nodes of the neck. The recurrence rate is less than 30%. The gold standard of treatment for lymph node recurrences is surgery, but surgery is burdened by a high rate of complications. Therefore, laser ablation of recurrent lymph nodes has been recognized as an alternative treatment with minimal invasiveness, a low complication rate and a curative effect. (2) Methods: We analyzed 10 patients who underwent a total thyroidectomy and metabolic radiotherapy and who developed a lymph node recurrence in the laterocervical compartment in the following 12–18 months. (3) Results: Patients developed lymph node recurrence at IV and Vb levels in 70% and 30% of cases, respectively. All patients were treated with a single laser ablative session. Hydrodissection was performed in all patients. The energy delivered was 1120 ± 159.3 Joules and 3–4 Watts in 362 ± 45.7 s. No complications were reported. All patients underwent a 6-month follow-up. A volumetric reduction of 40.12 ± 2.2%, 49.1 ± 2.13% and 59.8 ± 3.05%, respectively at 1-, 3- and 6-months of follow-up was reported. (4) Conclusions: At 6 months, a fine needle aspiration was performed, which was negative for malignant cells and negative for a dosage of Thyroglobulin in eluate. The laser ablation is an effective alternative to surgical treatment.
