Two-centre experience in the treatment of thyroglossal duct remnants using the modified muscle-sparing Sistrunk technique

alexandrossfakianakis shared this article with you from Inoreader Two-centre experience in the treatment of thyroglossal duct remnants using the modified muscle-sparing Sistrunk technique via International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery via MedWorm.com The Sistrunk procedure has long been the method of choice for treating patients with thyroglossal duct remnants (TDRs). However, the extent of the surgical resection in the suprahyoid segment of the TDR remains controversial, as this anatomical site is the origin of both disease recurrence and surgical morbidity. The aim of this two-centre retrospective cohort study was to investigate the outcomes of a modified muscle-sparing Sistrunk procedure in primary TDRs. The primary predictor was the surgical approach, and the outcome variable was the recurrence rate. (Source: International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery) View on Web
