Abstract
Thyroglossal duct cysts are a common congenital, midline neck mass. Surgical excision of the mass and its embryonic tract including the middle portion of the hyoid bone and suprahyoid musculature, is known as the Sistrunk procedure and is a key to preventing recurrence. One of the few drawbacks of this surgical approach is that can leave aesthetically noticeable scars. A novel way to avoid such a scar is to use a transoral endoscopic vestibular approach similar to what is used in the transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach. This approach is both safe and effective in the appropriately selected patient. It allows for adequate resection of the thyroglossal duct cyst and its tract while avoiding a cervical incision.
