Submental laparoscopic removal for thyroglossal duct cysts
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a less invasive way to remove a thyroglossal duct cyst (a fluid-filled lump in the neck). The surgery is done through a small incision under the chin, which may lead to less visible scarring and faster recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- The cyst is not currently infected or inflamed.
- The cyst has not broken through the skin or formed a draining tunnel.
- Imaging (ultrasound or CT) has confirmed the lump is a thyroglossal duct cyst.
- You do not have serious heart, lung, or bleeding problems.
- You are willing to choose this surgery and sign a consent form.
- The cyst is no larger than 4 cm across.

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 study compares two surgeries for early-stage medullary thyroid cancer: removing only the side of the thyroid with the tumor (lobectomy) versus removing the whole thyroid, both with removal of nearby lymph nodes. The goal is to see if the less extensive surgery can be just as effective with fewer side effects.
This study tests a less invasive surgery for early-stage thyroid cancer that has not spread to lymph nodes or other parts of the body. The goal is to see if it works well and helps patients recover with less scarring.
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 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 study compares two ways of removing lymph nodes in the central part of the neck during thyroid cancer surgery. The goal is to see which approach is safer and more effective for patients whose cancer hasn't spread to lymph nodes.
