Besides complete surgical resection ipsilateral tonsillectomy and dissection of a tract or its remnants is sometimes recommended. In this retrospective trial we wanted to evaluate if patients, who received LNC resection only, develop complications or recurrence to justify this surgical strategy.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Patients who received LNC resection between 2004 and 2017 at the Ear Nose and Throat Department of a university hospital were included.

In this collective, the diagnosis of a lateral neck cyst was confirmed histologically. Mean age at time of operation was 38\u00a0years (\u00b1\u200914.6). The median follow-up time was 7\u00a0years (range 3\u201318). None of the participants experienced recurrent unilateral pharyngitis or tonsillitis during follow-up. Furthermore, there was no case of postoperative peritonsillar, neck phlegmon or neck abscess.
