“What is the appropriate age to do a branchial cyst surgery?”
I have a 18 month old son who has been diagnosed with a branchial cyst around the location of the thyroid glands. The doctors have been suggesting a surgery. But, is that the only solution? If yes, what is the right age for him to have the surgery?

Yes, this is the only solution.
The best time to get things taken care of in young children is when they're young, as you can ask your doctor and follow their advice.
He may get surgery now.

Surgery is the appropriate solution. When the bronchial cysts start to manifest, surgery is indicated.
