Abstract

|
Thyroglossal duct cyst (TGDC) is the most common congenital neck mass caused by remnants of the thyroglossal duct during fetal development and migration. Traditionally, the Sistrunk procedure has been recommended as the standard surgical treatment for TGDC. However, this procedure is associated with several surgical burdens such as the need for general anesthesia, surgical scarring, and possible postoperative complications. Recently, ultrasoundguided ethanol ablation (US-EA) has been suggested as a good alternative for treating TGDC and has shown excellent treatment outcomes in terms of treatment efficacy and cosmetic satisfaction. Here, we introduce detailed techniques of US-EA for head and neck surgeons to use as a primary treatment of TGDC.
