Abstract

Objective:To evaluate the clinical characteristics and surgical options for CLSCs.Method: Thirty-two CLSC patients underwent a total of 59 surgeries were recruited for this study. Needle aspiration was performed in 18 cases and excision of the roof in 9 cases. Except 1 case of open operation through cervical approach, 31 cases were underwent endoscopic procedure using CO₂ laser and microsuturing of the wound surfaces.Result: The time of recurrence depended on surgical approaches: 5-12 days for needle aspiration and 1-10 months for excicing roof of the cyst. No recurrence was found after the complete resection of the cyst wall using a CO₂ laser and microsuturing of the wound surfaces via an endoscopic procedure and open operation.Conclusion:CO₂ laser and microsuturing of the wound surfaces via an endoscope is a effective approach to cure and prevent recurrence of CLSCs.

Keywords: CO² laser; congenital disease; laryngeal saccular cysts; microsuturing.
