Pyriform sinus fistula (PSF) causes a recurrent abscess in the neck. Endoscopic chemocauterization with trichloroacetic acid (TCA) for PSF is a simple, reproducible, and reliable procedure for treating PSF; however, there is concern about complications caused by TCA overflowing into the larynx. To prevent these complications, we devised a highly effective chemocauterization using a distal hooded endoscope (HuDHE). Our aim is to determine the efficacy and safety of HuDHE in children with PSF.
