Abstract
We describe an endoscopic-assisted transcervical technique for excision of second branchial cleft anomalies in young children. In three cases (ages 2-8), this approach allowed safe identification and ligation of the tracts while providing improved visualization and allowing smaller incisions. Endoscopic assistance may be an effective alternative to traditional wide transcervical excision.
