Hello, You will require a re-operation, and the cyst along with a small connecting tube (the thyroglossal tract) will have to be removed. This procedure is called Sistrunk's Operation, and it can be done as a daycare/one-two day admission procedure depending on the size of the cyst. Regards, Dr Sendhil Rajan MS MCh Consultant Endocrine and Breast Surgeon
Next Steps
You will require clinical evaluation, a few investigations, followed by surgery to completely remove the thyroglossal cyst
