Abstract
OBJECTIVES Thyroglossal duct cysts (TGDCs) are a common congenital mass in the cervical region. As the traditional surgical approach for TGDC removal, the Sistrunk procedure, often leaves a visible neck scar, the demand for improved cosmetic outcomes has increased. Emerging endoscopy-assisted approaches offer promise for addressing cosmetic concerns. We conducted a scoping review to evaluate the feasibility and safety of endoscopy-assisted TGDC surgery. DATA SOURCES PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases. METHODS Electronic databases were searched from their respective inception dates to January 2023. Data on surgical approach, patient demographics, surgical procedure, and postoperative outcomes were extracted and analyzed. The quality of the studies was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist. RESULTS The literature search yielded nine articles published between 2011 and 2022. Overall, 85 patients in these studies successfully underwent endoscopy-assisted TGDC surgery using various approaches, including areolar, axillo-breast, transoral-vestibular, and transoral-sublingual. The operative time varied across the studies, ranging from 50 to 480 min. TGDC sizes ranged from 1 to 3 cm in diameter. Complications, including infection, skin bruising, and dysarthria, were reported in seven patients (8%). No cases of conversion to open surgery or postoperative recurrences were reported. CONCLUSION Endoscopy-assisted surgery is a potential alternative for patients seeking TGDC resection with satisfactory aesthetic results while ensuring safety. However, existing evidence is insufficient to support the superior effectiveness of endoscopy-assisted TGDC surgery over the traditional Sistrunk procedure. Laryngoscope, 134:3038-3043, 2024.

Abstract
With the extension of remote-access head and neck surgery to improve postoperative cosmetic outcomes, a robotic or endoscopic procedure was developed to excise thyroglossal duct cysts (TGDCs). Here, we present the operative procedure of a novel transoral robot-assisted Sistrunk operation using oral vestibular and sublingual incisions in a 21-year-old woman with TGDC. A 1.5-cm central vestibular incision and two lateral vestibular incisions were made. In addition, a midline vertical sublingual incision was made to cut the hyoid bone via the sublingual route. The surgery was successfully completed without conversion to the conventional transcervical approach. Our technique using three vestibular incisions and a sublingual incision was more efficient in performing the Sistrunk operation than frenulotomy or endoscopic vestibular approaches. In conclusion, the transoral robotic Sistrunk operation using three vestibular incisions and a sublingual incision is feasible and safe and yields excellent postoperative cosmesis.

Abstract
Background The goal of this review was to introduce endoscopic/robotic parotidectomy (EP/RP) and compare EP/RP against conventional parotidectomy (CP) regarding the intraoperative and postoperative parameters in the treatment of parotid tumors. Methods A systematic literature search of medical databases (PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials) was performed from inception to November 2020 to generate relevant studies. Results A total of 13 eligible studies (572 patients) were included for systematic review, and 7 out of 13 comparable studies for the quantitative synthesis of outcomes. Patients who underwent EP were characterized by less intraoperative bleeding volume, shorter incision length, and higher satisfaction postoperatively (WMD, 95% CI, -42.80; - 58.23 to -27.37; p < 0.01; WMD, 95% CI, -5.64; -7.88 to -3.39; p < 0.01; SMD, 95% CI, 1.88; 1.46 to 2.31; p < 0.01, respectively). However, operative time and risk of facial palsy exhibited no significant differences (WMD, 95% CI, -11.17; -26.71 to 4.34; p = 0.16; OR, 95% CI,0.71; 0.39 to 1.32; p = 0.28, respectively). Conclusions Our findings suggest that the current evidence does not adequately support EP is equally safe and effective as CP. In certain selected cases, endoscopic technology has its unique advantages. For patients with strong cosmetic needs, endoscopic or robotic techniques may be an alternative through adequate preoperative evaluations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Standard of care for management of thyroglossal duct cysts (TGDCs) is a Sistrunk procedure performed through a transcervical incision. We describe the first series of Sistrunk procedures performed through a transoral endoscopic vestibular approach, eliminating a visible external scar. METHODS The transoral endoscopic vestibular approach to the Sistrunk (TEVAS) was performed in patients with TGDCs meeting inclusion criteria who desired a scarless approach. RESULTS Six patients (five females and one male) underwent TEVAS, with a mean age of 38 years (range 16-56 years) and a mean TGDC size of 1.8 cm (range 1.1-2.4 cm). Mean operative time was approximately 5 h (range 2-8 h). There were no surgical complications or recurrences. CONCLUSIONS For appropriately selected patients, the TEVAS is an alternative to open neck surgery that provides improved cosmesis while maintaining successful resection outcomes. More data on outcomes including complications and recurrences are needed as additional case information is collected.

Abstract
Traditional open surgery is indicated for the treatment of selected tumor subsites in the head and neck. However, it can cause major cosmetic problems and functional pathologies. The endoscopically-assisted transoral approach is increasingly preferred in some surgical fields due to its superior cosmetic and functional outcomes. Nonetheless, endoscopically-assisted transoral approach is not yet standard in the head and neck due to their anatomical complexity. The transoral surgical approach has been used for head and neck masses since the 1960s, and its application continues to evolve with changing disease conditions and recent innovations in surgical instruments. The potential for wide application of transoral surgery continues to be investigated, with a focus on minimizing occurrence of the complications. This review presents details of the surgical procedure and postoperative clinical outcomes, as well as endoscopically-assisted scar-free techniques for the resection of midline neck masses.

Abstract
Sistrunk procedure is the standard method for thyroglossal duct cyst resection. While this procedure is successful and safe, it results in postoperative scars on the front of neck. We propose a total transoral technique without external incision that starts with careful separation of the floor of the mouth and genioglossus muscle followed by the exact localization of the cyst using methylene blue. Simultaneously, the hyoid bone connected to the cyst and tract was removed. Finally, routine hemostasis is conducted, and the operative cavity is closed. All patients who received this operation in our department recovered successfully without experiencing severe intraoperative or postoperative complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Thyroglossal duct cysts (TGDCs) are relatively common congenital midline neck masses that are treated with surgical excision. Traditionally these are removed along with any associated tract and the central portion of the hyoid bone through an anterior neck incision. Some patients with TGDCs want to avoid an external neck scar. METHODS We describe the details of a transoral endoscopic vestibular excision of a TGDC and the associated hyoid bone in an adolescent patient. RESULTS This novel approach was successful and there were no complications. CONCLUSION We propose that cervical TGDCs can be safely and completely removed with this approach in appropriately selected patients while avoiding a neck scar.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transoral thyroidectomy is becoming a preferred technique because it has the advantage of not leaving a scar after surgery. However, it is not yet standard because of the anatomic nerve complexity of this oral cavity and difficulty of approach. The aim of this study was to determine the safety zone of a gasless transoral thyroidectomy approach using an anatomical study and to evaluate the efficacy of this approach on clinical application. METHODS Phase 1, twenty unilateral specimens from fresh cadavers underwent staining by the modified Sihler's method to identify nerves around the oral vestibules. Then, the safety zone of the transoral thyroidectomy approach was proposed. Phase 2, a comparative analysis of the clinical outcomes of gasless transoral thyroidectomy through the safety zone versus transcutaneous thyroidectomy approach. RESULTS In phase 1, numerous inferior labial branches diverged from the mental nerve and were distributed across the lower lip. In most cases, the most lateral branch reached almost to the corner of the mouth, whereas a nerve-free area was present at the medial region of the lower lip. The suggested safety zone was presented as a trapezoid shape. In phase 2, there were no significant differences in age, mass size, or complications between the two groups. However, the operation time in the transoral thyroidectomy group was longer than in the transcutaneous group (p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Based on the anatomical study, we suggested a safety zone for the gasless transoral thyroidectomy. On application of this safety zone, gasless transoral thyroidectomy is a safe and feasible procedure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Transoral surgery is becoming a preferred technique because it does not leave any scar after surgery. However, transoral surgery for a dermoid cyst of the oral cavity is not standardized yet, due to the anatomic complexity of this region. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a transoral dermoid cyst excision. STUDY DESIGN Multicenter prospective observational study. SETTING University hospital. SUBJECTS AND METHODS This study was designed as a 4-year prospective multicenter evaluation of dermoid cyst excisions within the floor of mouth. Clinical outcomes and complications related to procedures were evaluated among patients. The primary outcome was the efficacy of the procedure, and the secondary outcome was cosmetic satisfaction of each procedure. RESULTS Twenty-one patients underwent transoral dermoid cyst excisions, and 22 underwent transcervical excisions. In the transoral surgery group, the mean size of the dermoid cyst was 5.35 cm (95% CI, 4.79-5.91), and in the transcervical surgery group, it was 6.19 cm (95% CI, 5.67-6.71). There was no significant differences with respect to overall demographic characteristics between the groups. However, the duration of the operation was shorter with the transoral group than with the transcervical group ( P = .001), and cosmetic satisfaction was much better in the transoral group ( P < .001). CONCLUSION Transoral dermoid cyst excision is a potentially safe and effective method that can lead to easy and quick removal of an oral cavity dermoid cyst, with excellent cosmetic outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No-scar transoral thyroglossal duct cyst (TGDC) excision is a newly developed treatment for TGDC, but limited information is available regarding the clinical outcomes in children. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and effects of transoral TGDC excision in children. METHODS Forty-four children <10 years of age received operative treatment for TGDC from January 2013 to December 2014, and follow-up was performed over 24 months. Clinicopathologic, surgical, and follow-up data were collected and analyzed. The primary outcome variable was feasibility of the procedure, and the secondary outcome was patient's cosmetic satisfaction after each operation. RESULTS Twenty-one patients underwent transoral TGDC excision, and 21 patients underwent conventional excision. No significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of the overall patient and operation factors. However, the rate of identifying the thyroglossal duct during transoral excision was superior to that during conventional excision (p < 0.05), and cosmetic satisfaction was much better in the transoral TGDC excision group (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION No-scar transoral TGDC excision in children is a potentially safe and effective methodology that can achieve easy removal of the thyroglossal duct and excellent cosmetic outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sistrunk operation of the thyroglossal duct is a procedure for the removal of a cyst, the middle part of the hyoid bone and tract towards the foramen caecum. Unavoidably, this procedure results in a scar on the skin in the neck area. By performing a bilateral areolar endoscopic Sistrunk operation, this study is the first to develop a procedure that can solve the aesthetic problem. This operation results in both an excellent cosmetic result and the successful treatment of TGDC. METHODS A three-port technique was performed in this operation: 10-mm port for 30°, 10-mm laparoscope, 5-mm port for the instrument at the left circumareolar area and 5-mm port located at the right circumareolar area. Insufflation pressure of CO2 gas was set at 6 mm Hg. The surgical working space was located over the breast tissue and pectoralis muscles, towards the anterior neck to the hyoid bone. The steps employed for resection were similar to a conventional Sistrunk operation using standard laparoscopic instruments and hook scissors. RESULTS A series of 11 patients were successfully treated using this novel technique with neither conversion to open surgery nor surgical complications. Average operative time was 88.54 min (ranging from 60 to 130 min). Average blood loss was 35 mL. (ranging from 15 to 67 mL). Patients were discharged in an average of 2.36 days after the procedure (ranging from 2 to 3 days). CONCLUSION This novel technique for TGDC Sistrunk surgery using an areolar approach is feasible, safe and effective. The benefit of this technique is the cosmetic result, which leaves no scarring on the neck after wound healing and may provide a new method for optimal aesthetic results.
