Ranulas have been managed by various surgical methods, and the optimal treatment is still controversial. The aim of this study was to analyze a group of 124 surgically treated patients with intraoral ranula to assess 3 different methods: sublingual gland removal combined with the ranula excision, conventional marsupialization, and a variant of the marsupialization technique usually performed in our departments. Recurrence rate was 0% after radical treatment, 25.8% after marsupialization, and 12% after modified marsupialization. We suggest that conservative methods should always be considered as treatment of superficial oral ranulas. The modification of the conventional marsupialization by suturing the edges of the pseudocyst before unroofing of the lesion was demonstrated to be a useful technical strategy that simplifies and accelerates the surgical procedures and probably contributed to preventing recurrences.

Efficacy of KTP Laser-Assisted Marsupialization in the Treatment of Vocal Cysts.

Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the effectiveness of KTP laser-assisted marsupialization for treating vocal cysts, which can cause voice issues, compared to traditional surgical methods.
- - Results showed that while KTP laser technique had increased vocal fold safety and easier application, it had a higher recurrence rate of cysts (18.4%) compared to conventional surgery (5%).
- - Overall voice improvement was similar in both groups, but the findings suggest KTP laser treatment may not be as effective as conventional surgery in achieving long-term results, indicating the need for further research in this area.

Purpose: This scoping review aimed to identify factors associated with the recurrence of ameloblastoma.
Methods: Systematic searches were conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and EMBASE, based on the board research question: "What factors are related to the recurrence of ameloblastoma?". English-language observational studies addressing the risk and preventive factors associated with recurrent ameloblastoma were included and data were extracted.

The purpose of this multicentre study was to evaluate the efficacy of the 'dredging-marsupialization-curettage' (D-M-C) strategy in the treatment of conventional intraosseous ameloblastoma of the mandible. A total of 31 patients from three institutions, who had a pathological diagnosis of conventional ameloblastoma of the mandible, were treated with the D-M-C strategy. The surgical protocol comprised a dredging and marsupialization (D-M) step, with additional D-M steps as required.

Rare non-odontogenic cysts of the soft tissue of the midface that form between the nasal vestibule and upper lip are known as nasolabial cysts. Treatment can be accomplished by surgical removal, injection of sclerosing material into the cyst, and endoscopic marsupialization. The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of Excision with sublabial approach versus Marsupialization with Transnasal Endoscopic approach in patients with Nasolabial cyst in terms of operating time, recurrence rate, postoperative pain and complications.

Background: There are different surgical techniques to remove Oral mucoceles, including conventional surgery with scalpel, removal of the lesion with CO2 laser, and micro marsupialization. The present systematic review was conducted with the aim of comparing the recurrence rate of different surgical techniques for treatment of the oral mucoceles.
Material And Methods: An electronic search for randomized controlled trials published in English until September 2022 related to different surgical methods for the treatment of oral mucocele was performed in Medline/PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase and Cochrane databases.
