AbstractLingual thyroid is a rare lesion caused by maldescent of the thyroid gland. It is an important cause of a mass on the posterior third of the tongue, and may coexist with other developmental abnormalities such as thyroglossal cyst. The diagnosis is made by radioisotope scan. Treatment is indicated in the presence of symptoms and consists initially of thyroxine. Severe or unresponsive cases require complete excision through a lateral pharyngotomy. Hypothyroidism is common postoperatively, but may be avoided in some cases by transplantation of excised tissue. We present a case report and review of the literature

Introduction We report our ten-year experience of thyroglossal cyst excision at Queen’s Medical Centre, Nottingham, comparing outcomes, practice and technique. Methods Retrospective case note analysis was conducted alongside surgical histopathology review for all thyroglossal cyst excisions performed between 2000 and 2010. This yielded 108 patients with histopathology results confirming a thyroglossal cyst. Results The mean patient age was 21 years (range: 1 week – 76 years). Over half the patients (n=59, 55%) were less than 18 years of age. Fifty-five patients (51%) were male and fifty-three (49%) were female. Seventy cases (63%) were operated on by ear, nose and throat (ENT) surgeons. The rest were performed by paediatric surgeons (n=35, 32%), maxillofacial surgeons (n=2, 2%) and general surgeons (n=1, 1%). Paediatric surgeons undertook 35 (69%) of the 59 paediatric cases, with ENT surgeons operating on the rest (n=24, 41%). The primary surgeon was a consultant in 59 operations (55%) while in 49 cases (45%) it was a registrar. Thyroglossal cysts were ruptured in 21 operations (19%) during removal. The central portion of the hyoid bone was not excised in seven cases (6%). Twelve patients (11%) suffered postoperative complications, six of which were recurrences. Conclusions There was a combined recurrence rate of 6% across all specialties for the Sistrunk procedure. This is in keeping with commonly reported recurrence rates. However, we found that central compartment neck dissection, as a modification of the original Sistrunk procedure, provides a highly effective method for permanently excising a thyroglossal cyst and, in our experience, it eliminates recurrence.

Isolated cardiac hydatid cyst is a rare entity. It warrants early surgical repair because cyst rupture is potentially fatal. We report the case of a 32-year-old lady with an epicardial ventricular hydatid cyst, which was managed successfully by complete cyst excision.

Congenital Lung Malformations

Abstract Background Congenital lung malformation is an umbrella term and consist of various kind of parenchymal and mediastinal pathologies. Surgical resection is often required for diagnosis and curative treatment. We aimed to review our experience in surgical treatment for congenital lung disease and present the role of minimally invasive surgery. Methods Surgical resections performed for benign lesions of the lung and mediastinum between January 2009 and May 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients who were found to have congenital lung malformation as a result of pathological examination were included in our study. Distribution characteristics of the patients according to congenital lung malformation subtypes, differences in surgical approach and postoperative results were investigated. Results A total of 94 patients who underwent surgical resection and were diagnosed with the bronchogenic cyst, sequestration, bronchial atresia, congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM), or enteric cyst as a result of pathological examination were included the study. There were no significant differences between pathological subtypes in the postoperative length of hospital stay and drainage duration however, perioperative complication rate was higher in the sequestration group. In addition, in the first three days postoperatively, the mean pain score was found to be lower in the VATS group compared to thoracotomy. Conclusions Congenital lung malformations consist of a heterogeneous group of diseases and the surgical treatment in these patients can range from a simple cyst excision to pneumonectomy. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery should be considered as the first choice in the surgical treatment of these patients in experienced centers.

Background: The recurrence rate after open excision of ganglion cysts is approximately 20%. However, this literature is based on a small series of subjects. This study aims to determine the rate and risk of recurrence after open excision of ganglion cysts in a large patient series. Methods: This study included 628 patients who had ganglion cyst excision from 2010 to 2018. A retrospective chart review recorded the following: age, sex, laterality, volar/dorsal location, and recurrence. An overall recurrence rate was calculated. In addition, a 1-way analysis of variance test was used to compare recurrence rates among the individual surgeons, and unpaired t tests were used to compare age of recurrence, dorsal cyst recurrence, laterality of cyst, and recurrence based on sex. Finally, a comparison of recurrence rate over time was conducted for surgeon 3. Results: The overall recurrence rate was 3.8% (24 of 628). The recurrence rates for each surgeon were 3% (9 of 353), 2% (3 of 167), and 11% (12 of 107), P = .02. The age of those with and without a recurrence did not differ (32 years vs 38 years), P = .06. The recurrence rate of dorsal ganglion cysts was 4.1% (14 of 341) compared with 3.5% (10 of 286) for volar ganglion cysts, P = .69. Male patients had a recurrence in 6.4% (13 of 204) of cases compared with 2.6% (11 of 424) of female patients, P = 0.01. There was a decrease in the rate of recurrence from 42.9% to 5.3% over 5 years for surgeon 3. Conclusion: In our sample, male sex and surgeon experience were significant risk factors in ganglion cyst recurrence.

Ejaculatory Duct Obstruction

Congenital malformations of the seminal vesicles (SVs) are rare and are associated with abnormalities of the ipsilateral urinary tracts as embryologically both the ureteral buds and SVs arise from the mesonephric ducts. The triad of SV cysts, ipsilateral renal agenesis and ejaculatory duct obstruction is known as the Zinner syndrome. We, herein, present three very rare presentations of Zinner syndrome. Case 1 presented with haematuria, and was found to have a large SV cyst with stones and underwent a robotic cyst excision. Case 2 presented with primary infertility, and was found to have a variant of Zinner syndrome. Case 3 was a known case of chronic kidney disease on maintenance haemodialysis who presented with fever and oliguria. He was found to have Zinner syndrome and underwent aspiration of SV abscess. To the best of our knowledge, such varying presentations of Zinner syndrome have been rarely reported thus far.

Pseudocyst Formation

Despite its numerous benefits, peritoneal dialysis (PD) can rarely result in dangerous and even life-threatening complications, including peritonitis, hernias, encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS), and rarely peritoneal pseudocysts. Herein, we present a rare case of a giant intra-peritoneal pseudocyst that presented four months following the discontinuation of a 5-year course of complicated PD. Despite the initially successful drainages, the patient’s symptoms continued to recur, and the imaging findings were concerning for underlying neoplastic processes. As such, a staged surgical approach was performed, starting with a diagnostic laparoscopy and was subsequently followed with cyst excision and marsupialization to the peritoneal cavity. While previous reports of such rare pseudocyst have been documented in the literature as a complication of PD, to our knowledge, this is the second case of pseudocyst formation to occur months after the discontinuation of PD therapy. This case emphasizes the importance of close follow-up in PD patients and showcases how a staged surgical approach can be utilized to accurately diagnose and manage such complicated cases.
