Transoral endoscopic vestibular approach Sistrunk procedure (TEVAS)-case report and scoping review
GLAND SURGERY(2024)
Abstract
Background: Thyroglossal duct cyst (TGDC) is the most common congenital neck mass among the pediatric population. Less than 10% of the cases occur in adults. The standard of care for TGDC is surgical treatment with the Sistrunk procedure via a traditional transverse cervicotomy. This technique involves the resection of the cyst with its tract and the central portion of the hyoid bone body to avoid recurrence. The transoral vestibular approach has gained popularity as an alternative approach to open neck surgery in order to eliminate the transcervical scar associated with these procedures. Methods: We describe a case of an endoscopic Sistrunk procedure performed by the transoral vestibular approach. A scoping review of the transoral endoscopic vestibular approach Sistrunk procedure (TEVAS) was performed. The PubMed, Medline, Cochrane, Lilacs, Scielo, Mary Ann Libert and Scopus databases were systematically searched by using a Medical Subject Heading (MeSH)-optimized search strategy. The selection of papers followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines after setting inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: The case was successful and without complications. Five studies were included in the final analysis for this review. Conclusions: This novel approach to the Sistrunk procedure is an effective alternative way to treat TGDC in selected patients who are motivated to avoid a visible neck scar.
