How long does it take to operate on an epiglottic cyst?

Epiglottic cyst surgery can usually be completed in half an hour, usually under general anesthesia, with the help of a supported laryngoscope to expose the epiglottic cyst. Cyst surgery can be performed by plasma ablation and direct surgical removal. Plasma ablation for epiglottic cysts is minimally invasive and has the advantages of less bleeding and faster recovery, while direct removal usually has more bleeding, requires hemostasis after removal, and is more painful after surgery. An epiglottic cyst is a cystic mass located in the epiglottis, usually on the lingual surface of the epiglottis, which can cause a foreign body sensation in the pharynx, occasionally painful, and in larger cases can lead to dyspnea, etc. The diagnosis can be confirmed by indirect laryngoscopy or fiberoptic laryngoscopy, and usually requires surgery after diagnosis. In addition to the symptoms mentioned above, epiglottis cysts can also cause recurrent acute epiglottitis, which can be harmful to the body.
