Electrocautery only for hyoid bone removal in pediatric thyroglossal duct cyst excision.

CONCLUSIONS: The complete hyoid bone section with electric scalpel only ensures the ideal access to the posterior hyoid space and allows a greater and more symmetrical access to the proximal portion of thyroglossal duct in children with still negligible complication and recurrence rate. KEY WORDS: Modified Sistrunk technique, Sistrunk procedure, Thyroglossal duct cyst. PMID: 33554940 [PubMed - in process]
