Abstract
Objectives: The study aims to retrospectively summarize the clinical features of pediatric thyroglossal duct cyst (TGDC), investigate the efficacy of the modified Sistrunk (mSis) procedure, and analyze the recurrence risks. Methods: The clinical data of 391 children with TGDC admitted to Beijing Children's Hospital affiliated Capital Medical University and Baoding Children's Hospital from March 2012 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent cervical ultrasound for preoperative evaluation. Twenty cases had magnetic resonance imaging and 8 cases had computed tomography for further evaluation. All patients underwent the standard mSis procedure, and clinical manifestations information, surgical information, complications, and prognosis were analyzed. Results: Among the 391 TGDC cases, 118 (30.2%) had a history of recurrent neck infection and 36 (9.2%) had undergone previous neck cyst and fistula resection surgeries, initially diagnosed as neck cyst (22 cases), TGDC (12 cases), or branchial fistula (2 cases), with only 6 cases having undergone partial hyoid bone resection in the previous operation. During the 15 to 156 months of follow-up, 10 children experienced local wound infection, but no other complications were reported. The recurrence rate was 2.30%, and the recurrence time ranged from 0.5 to 34 (average, 7.2) months post surgery. In the Poisson regression model examining factors related to recurrence, the P values of the 3 factors were <.05: clearness of the lesion boundary, surgical history, and maximum diameter and the relative risk (RR) values corresponding to the 3 risk factors, such as Exp (B), were 27.918, 10.054, and 6.606, respectively. Conclusions: The mSis procedure demonstrated safety and efficacy with fewer complications and a low recurrence rate of 2.30% in the study. Furthermore, the indistinct lesion boundary, surgical history, and large lesion diameter (>2 cm) were independent risk factors for recurrence in pediatric TGDC.Level of Evidence: IV.

Abstract
Objectives Thyroglossal duct cyst (TGDC) is the most common pediatric congenital neck mass. The Sistrunk procedure is the standard method of excision and is associated with low rates of recurrence. This study aimed to review our institution's outcomes following the Sistrunk procedure, specifically the rates of wound complications and cyst recurrence. Methods This was a retrospective case series of pediatric patients undergoing the Sistrunk procedure from June 2009 to April 2021. Results A total of 273 patients were included. Of these, 139 (53%) patients were male and 181 (66%) were white. The average age at the time of surgery was 7.1 years. The overall cyst recurrence rate was 11%. The most common wound complications were seroma (14%) and surgical site infections (SSIs) (12%). Wound complications were associated with prior history of cyst infection (odds ratio [OR] 1.97, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.07-3.60, z-test 2.2, p = .03). Pediatric surgery was associated with fewer wound complications (OR 0.18; 95% CI 0.05-0.6, z-test -2.78, p = .005). However, pediatric surgery operated on fewer patients with a history of cyst infection (36% vs. 55%, p = .012). Drain placement and postoperative antibiotics did not affect rates of wound complications. Conclusions Prior cyst infection is associated with increased rates of postoperative wound complications. Postoperative antibiotics and drain placement did not significantly affect complication rates. Level of Evidence 4.
