What is a Cystic Hygroma?
A Cystic Hygroma is a congenital malformation of the lymphatic system that causes soft, painless, and fluid-filled swellings. Though often benign, these cysts can enlarge over time, compressing nearby structures and leading to breathing or swallowing difficulties.
When to Consider Surgery
- The cyst increases in size or causes cosmetic concerns
- There is difficulty in breathing, swallowing, or speaking
- Recurrent infection or leakage from the cyst occurs
- Non-surgical treatments like sclerotherapy fail to work
Procedure
- The surgery is performed under general anesthesia.
- The surgeon carefully identifies and removes the cystic mass without damaging nearby nerves and blood vessels.
- In complex cases, microsurgical precision is used to ensure complete excision and reduce the chance of recurrence.
- The incision is closed cosmetically to minimize scarring.
Benefits
- Complete removal of cystic lesion
- Relief from cosmetic deformity and functional problems
- Reduced risk of infection or recurrence
- Improved facial and neck contour
- Enhanced quality of life and self-confidence
