Laparoscopic-assisted removal of thyroglossal duct cyst
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a minimally invasive surgical technique to remove a thyroglossal duct cyst (a fluid-filled lump in the neck) through a small incision under the chin. It aims to improve recovery and outcomes compared to standard surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- The cyst has not burst or formed a sinus tract or fistula through the skin.
- You do not have severe heart or lung disease.
- You do not have severe bleeding or clotting problems.
- You are not currently participating in another clinical study.

This study compares two approaches for thyroid removal surgery—one through the mouth and one under the chin—to find which is easier to perform. It is for people with thyroid nodules or early thyroid cancer that hasn't spread.
This trial is testing a specific type of scarless thyroid surgery (through the chest) and seeing how well it works for people with thyroid tumors that haven't spread. It might be a good fit if you want to avoid a neck scar.
This trial looks at a tool doctors can use to predict if a certain type of thyroid surgery (through the mouth or under the chin) will be challenging. It helps people who want less visible scarring after their thyroid cancer surgery.
This trial tests whether removing half the thyroid with nearby lymph nodes is effective for medullary thyroid cancer. Medullary thyroid cancer is a rare type that starts in cells producing calcitonin, a hormone that controls calcium levels.
This study compares a new, scarless mouth surgery for thyroid removal with the standard neck incision. It looks at how well each works and how safe they are.
This trial compares a new scarless thyroid surgery (through the mouth) with traditional open thyroid surgery for treating thyroid nodules. It may be an option if you have a benign nodule under 4 cm or a suspicious nodule under 2 cm.
