A laringocele combinada apresenta um desafio anatômico distinto: a lesão ocupa tanto os compartimentos medial quanto lateral em relação à membrana tireo-hióidea, exigindo cuidadosa consideração de qual estratégia cirúrgica melhor aborda ambos os componentes.
As laringoceles internas expandem-se medialmente à membrana tireo-hióidea, enquanto as laringoceles combinadas estão posicionadas tanto medial quanto lateralmente à membrana.
As laringoceles consideradas externas foram incluídas no grupo combinado, dado que todas as laringoceles se originam da estrutura interna do sáculo.

Internal laryngoceles expand medially to the thyroid hyoid membrane, while combined laryngoceles are positioned both medial and lateral to the membrane.
Laryngoceles that were considered external were included in the combined group for this review, given that all laryngoceles originate from the internal structure of the saccule.
The combined approach involved internal endoscopic laser resection, with a variety of open surgical approaches including a midline transcervical incision or V-shaped lateral thyrotomy.
Seven studies, including five case reports and two case series, examined the use of robotic surgery, including transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for the removal of a combined laryngocele.
Most reported cases (45%) resected by TORS were combined laryngoceles, with no reported recurrences in any cases of combined laryngocele managed by TORS, up to 3 years after treatment.
