Nine cases of epiglottal cyst were treated surgically with direct laryngoscopy or by an external approach during the past ten years. Five cases were approached by means of direct laryngoscopy and four through an external incision. Eight patients had never received any surgical treatment. One patient who had been treated with the help of indirect laryngeal mirror had a recurrent cyst, which was removed completely by an external approach. No recurrence has been found in the cases treated with direct laryngoscopy or by external incision. In the former group, Kenl Storz's direct laryngoscope was used in four cases. This laryngoscope can widen the view of the surgical field and make resection of the cyst easier. It is concluded that the best approach to epiglottal cyst is by direct laryngoscopy, and Kerl Storz's Laryngoscope is recommended.
