Summary

Laryngoceles and saccular cysts are benign laryngeal abnormalities. An external thyrohyoid membrane approach offers excellent surgical visualization and exposure for these conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Laryngeal Pathology

Background:

  • Laryngoceles and saccular cysts are related benign laryngeal abnormalities.
  • Their development can stem from congenital or acquired factors.
  • Symptoms range from asymptomatic findings to hoarseness, dysphagia, dyspnea, and discomfort.

Observation:

  • Two cases of laryngoceles and saccular cysts are presented for comparison.
  • The study discusses the history, diagnosis, and surgical treatment of these lesions.
  • Surgical techniques for these conditions remain a subject of debate.

Findings:

  • An external surgical approach transecting the thyrohyoid membrane was utilized in both cases.
  • This surgical method provided excellent visualization and exposure of the laryngeal abnormalities.
  • The described surgical approach resulted in no significant patient morbidity.

Implications:

  • The external thyrohyoid membrane approach may be a safe and effective surgical option for laryngoceles and saccular cysts.
  • This technique offers a viable alternative for managing these benign laryngeal lesions.
  • Further studies could validate the long-term efficacy and safety of this surgical method.
