The present review assesses chemical ablations and surgical re-interventions as strategies for recurrence. However, limited comparative studies exist to determine the optimal approach and follow-up outcome.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Objectives\u2003The aim of the current study is to conduct a review gathering evidence from the literature to analyze and synthesize the safest and most effective approaches for treating recurrent thyroglossal duct cysts.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Methods\u2003The present study aims to comprehensively search electronic databases, including the Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ci\u00eancias da Sa\u00fade, LILACS, in Portuguese), the database of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), SciVerse Scopus, Virtual Health Library (Biblioteca Virtual em Sa\u00fade, BVS, in Portuguese), and PubMed, for articles on recurrent thyroglossal duct cysts. The selected articles include patients with recurrent cysts, cover publications from 2000 to 2022, describe clinical and\/or surgical interventions, and ensure the safety and efficacy of the analyzed approach.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003The present review included 9 studies, involving a cohort of 278 patients. Out of these patients, 143 underwent surgical interventions and 135 underwent chemical ablations (82 using ethanol and 53 with OK-432).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003Conservative management of recurrent thyroglossal duct cysts is a growing trend, albeit requiring further refinements. This approach presents potential advantages, including decreased recurrence rates, shorter surgical duration, cost-effectiveness, and expedited recovery. Nevertheless, surgical intervention remains the preferred therapeutic choice owing to its established efficacy and widespread familiarity. The projected therapeutic approach shifts for thyroglossal duct cysts as conservative treatment gains substantiated benefits.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Systematic Review Registration: The
