“…However, surgeons need to keep in mind that scarring and stoma stenosis are potential complications that may occur if the surgical opening is too small. These complications can lead to the reformulation of the cyst 28 . To prevent stoma stenosis and the possibility of NLC recurrence, some authors suggest that a sufficiently large opening is crucial during TM 12 .…”

“…These complications can lead to the reformulation of the cyst. 28 To prevent stoma stenosis and the possibility of NLC recurrence, some authors suggest that a sufficiently large opening is crucial during TM. 12 Nonetheless, the ideal size of the surgical opening required for TM remains unclear, and further studies with larger study populations may help to determine the optimal size.…”

ObjectivesTo compare the intraoperative and postoperative outcomes of sublabial excision and transnasal endoscopic marsupialization, the two primary surgical approaches for nasolabial cysts.Design and SettingA comprehensive meta‐analysis of studies identified from PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library.ParticipantsPatients diagnosed with nasolabial cysts who underwent surgical treatment.Main Outcome MeasuresOperative time, postoperative pain, overall postoperative complications, admission rate, length of hospital stay, use of general anaesthesia, medical costs, and recurrence rate.ResultsThe pooled analysis revealed that the transnasal endoscopic marsupialization group had shorter operative time (mean differences [MD], −32.51; 95% confidence interval [CI], −38.52 to −26.51), reduced postoperative pain (MD, −4.25; 95% CI, −7.62 to −0.89), fewer overall postoperative complications (risk difference [RD], −0.68; 95% CI, −0.90 to −0.46), lower admission rates (RD, −0.86; 95% CI, −1.11 to −0.61), shorter hospital stays (MD, −1.74; 95% CI, −2.58 to −0.89), decreased use of general anaesthesia (RD, −0.40; 95% CI, −0.76 to −0.03), and reduced medical costs (MD, −229.69; 95% CI, −338.64 to −120.75). The recurrence rate between the two groups showed no significant difference (RD, −0.01; 95% CI, −0.05 to 0.04).ConclusionTransnasal endoscopic marsupialization presents as a promising alternative to sublabial excision in the treatment of nasolabial cysts. It offers advantages like reduced operative time, decreased postoperative pain, fewer complications, lower admission rates, shorter hospital stays, diminished need for general anaesthesia, and cost savings. Clinicians can leverage these findings to select the most suitable surgical approach for their patients.
