Surgeon Questions Branchial cyst

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.

Thx for the question.
I would advise you to look for a head and neck surgeon to help you with this question. Head and neck surgeons are the specialists in this area, so they can help you with most accurate information.
Good luck.
Surgery is the appropriate solution. When the bronchial cysts start to manifest, surgery is indicated.
