    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Surgical Innovation
    • Congenital Disorders

    Background:

    • Branchial sinuses and fistulae are congenital anomalies that can lead to recurrent infections and complications.
    • Surgical management is often required, but traditional techniques can be complex and invasive.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a simple and effective technique for the complete stripping of branchial sinuses and fistulae.
    • To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of using a standard vein stripper for this purpose.

    Main Methods:

    • A vein stripper is introduced into the tract of the branchial sinus or fistula.
    • The stripper is advanced proximally to engage and strip the tract.
    • The procedure is completed by excising the external opening.
