Popis: AIM To analyze the rate of recurrence and possible risk factors after surgical treatment in pediatric patients with thyroglossal ductus cyst (TGDC), who underwent the Modified Sistrunk Procedure (MSP). DESIGN Retrospective study. INSTITUTION The pediatric otorhinolaryngology clinic of a university. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included a total of 251 pediatric patients aged between 2 and 17 years, whose histopathological diagnosis was confirmed and who underwent MSP due to TGDC over a period of 10 years from January 2009 to December 2019. The chi-square test was used to determine the relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variables. Parameters used in the study: The parameters were age, gender, the history of infected TGDC before surgery (cellulitis, abscess), incision and drainage in patients with abscess, number of cysts detected in ultrasonographic imaging, postoperative histopathology, and the number of recurrences. RESULTS The study included a total of 251 pediatric patients. The mean age of the children was 6.2 years (2-17 years), the mean follow-up period was 4.8 years (2-6 years), and 38 (15.13%) recurrences were observed after 251 MSP applications. Five risk factors were found to be statistically significant in terms of recurrence rates (p
