Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Pediatric Surgery

Background:

  • Thyroglossal duct cysts are common congenital neck masses.
  • Recurrence rates remain high with traditional surgical techniques.
  • The Sistrunk procedure is considered the gold standard for removal.

Observation:

  • Forty patients with thyroglossal duct cysts underwent treatment over 8 years.
  • Twenty-nine patients had their first operation, 23 of whom had the Sistrunk procedure.
  • Six patients received alternative treatments.

Findings:

  • Only 1 of 23 patients treated with the Sistrunk procedure experienced recurrence.
  • Three of six patients treated with alternative methods had recurrences.
  • The Sistrunk technique demonstrated a significantly lower recurrence rate.
