A review of a series of 63 patients suggests that a high incidence of recurrence occurs following surgery for this condition. Histological examination demonstrates that this is due to failure to remove the central portion of hyoid bone and inadequate dissection of the tract into the tongue base. To overcome these problems, an en bloc anterior neck dissection is recommended which will encompass multiple duct formation associated with the tract.
对63例患者的系列回顾表明，针对这种病症手术后复发率很高。组织学检查显示，这是由于未能切除舌骨中央部分以及对延伸至舌根的管道解剖不充分所致。为克服这些问题，建议进行整块颈部前侧清扫术，该手术将包括与该管道相关的多个导管结构。
