title: [Thyroglossal duct cysts and fistulae. Review of 30 consecutive operated patients].
abstract: Thyroglossal duct cysts represent a very common pathology among the benign neck masses. An own review of 30 consecutive operated patients between 1994-2003 by our ENT Department is reported. There have been analysed different parameters like age, sex, personal antecedents, clinical symptoms, complementary explorations, surgical treatment, evolution and anatomopathologic result (AP). We think the Sistrunk procedure is the best operatory technique or strategy to perform to avoid recurrences.
