Abstract: Objective To evaluate the diagnosis, indications, and surgical outcomes of congenital pyriform sinus fistula(CPSF)treated by endoscopic radiofrequency ablation. Methods The data of 232 children with CPSF treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were analyzed retrospectively. Results The lesions were predominantly on the left side(217/232, 93.5%), 14 cases were on the right side, and only 1 case was bilateral. The ratio of males to females was about 1.1∶0. Of all 232 cases who underwent endoscopic radiofrequency ablation, 17 cases(7.3%)had recurrence. Postoperative hoarseness occurred in 12 cases, and disappeared within 0.5-2.0 months and there was no irritating cough, esophageal injury, or pharyngeal fistula post operation. Conclusion Endoscopic radiofrequency ablation is one of the best choices for the treatment of CPSF, with advantages such as minimal invasiveness, few complications, and a low recurrence rate.
