ABSTRACT
Objective: To evaluate the risk factors except surgery
that may affect the recurrence rate of thyroglossal duct cysts (TGDCs).
Material and Methods: The patients who had undergone surgery for
TGDCs between 2009 and 2019 were examined. Cases operated with
a technique other than the Sistrunk procedure and the revision cases
were excluded from the study. Age and gender distributions, complaints,
number of infectious attacks, presence of a fistula, radiological
imaging, mass characteristics, surgical findings, hospitalization time,
pathological examination results, and presence of complications were
assessed. The effects of these parameters on the recurrence were investigated.
Results: Fifty-eight patients were included in the study
(43.1%, 25 females and 56.9%, 33 males). The mean age was
21.53±19.19 years (range: 2-78 years). The most common complaint
was neck mass (n=49, 84.5%). Fifteen patients (25.9%) had a fistulized
skin lesion. The most common location was the infrahyoid region
(46.6%). The recurrence rate was found to be 13.8% (8/58). The mean
recurrence time was 1.8 years. In two patients’ pathological examination
revealed papillary thyroid cancer (3.4%). The recurrence rates in
the patients who had pain, fistulized skin lesions, and masses located
above the hyoid level were found to be statistically significant (p=0.01,
p<0.01, p=0.03, respectively). Conclusion: Location of the mass, presence
of pain, and fistulized skin lesions are the factors affecting the recurrence
in the patients undergoing the Sistrunk procedure.

ÖZET
Amaç: Tiroglossal kanal kistleri [thyroglossal duct cysts
(TGDC)]nin nüks oranını etkileyebilecek cerrahi yöntem dışı risk faktörlerini
değerlendirmek. Gereç ve Yöntemler: 2009-2019 yılları arasında,
TGDC sebebiyle ameliyat edilen hastalar incelendi. Sistrunk
prosedürü dışında bir teknikle opere edilen olgular ve revizyon olguları
çalışma dışı bırakıldı. Yaş ve cinsiyet dağılımları, semptomlar, enfeksiyon
atağı sayısı, fistül varlığı, radyolojik görüntüleme, kitle özellikleri,
cerrahi bulgular, hastanede yatış süresi, patolojik muayene
sonuçları ve komplikasyon varlığı değerlendirildi. Bu parametrelerin,
nüks üzerine etkileri araştırıldı. Bulgular: Elli sekiz hasta çalışmaya
dâhil edildi (25 kadın %43,1; 33 erkek %56,9). Ortalama yaş,
21,53±19,19 (dağılım: 2-78) yıl idi. En sık şikâyet (n=49; %84,5) boyun
kitlesi idi. On beş (%25,9) hastada fistülize cilt lezyonu vardı. En sık
yerleşim yeri (%46,6), infrahiyoid bölge idi. Nüks oranı %13,8 (8/58)
olarak bulundu. Ortalama nüks süresi 1,8 yıldı. İki hastanın patolojik incelemesinde
, papiller tiroid kanseri (%3,4) saptandı. Ağrı, fistülize cilt
lezyonları ve hiyoid düzeyinin üzerinde yerleşimli kitle bulunan hastalarda,
nüks oranları istatistiksel olarak anlamlı şekilde daha yüksek bulundu
(sırasıyla p=0,01; p<0,01; p=0,03). Sonuç: Kitlenin yeri, ağrı
varlığı ve fistülize cilt lezyonları, Sistrunk prosedürüne tabi tutulan hastalarda
nüksü etkileyen faktörlerdir.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Tiroglossal kanal; kist; fistül; nüks; Sistrunk prosedürü
