Abstract:
Sistrunk procedure for thyroglossal duct cyst (TGDC) includes removal of the thyroglossal cyst, middle portion of the hyoid bone and the tract towards the foramen caecum. Endoscopic approaches have surpassed the traditional open approaches for the treatment of benign thyroid swellings and TGDCs. Endoscopic Sistrunk procedure using bilateral axillo-breast approach is a safe and better alternative for the successful treatment of TGDC and provides excellent cosmetic results.
