Surgery of throat cysts (Lateral & Median Throat Cyst)

Have a neck cyst removed at Charlottenlund Private Hospital in Denmark!

Professional Treatment of throat cysts

Charlottenlund Private Hospital offers the removal of cysts on the neck. Cysts on the neck can be located both in the middle of the neck - a so-called median neck cyst - or on the side of the neck - a so-called lateral neck cyst.

Before you are prescribed for surgery, it is important that the diagnosis is made correctly and that both a biopsy and a scan are available, so that the surgeon can assess the scope of the operation before this is agreed.

The operations are carried out exclusively by permanently attached consultants who on a daily basis work as head doctors in neck surgery at the public hospitals. The operations are not carried out through the Extended Free Hospital Choice (DUF), as this does not include surgery for lateral and median neck cysts, but are carried out both privately and through health insurance.

We are proud to be able to offer operations by some of the most skilled throat surgeons in Denmark.

What is a lateral neck cyst?
A lateral neck cyst is a fluid-filled "bubble" that forms on the side of the neck. It occurs because during the fetal state there may be a small remnant of tissue that does not close completely correctly and which later forms a cyst. The cyst is often invisible and without symptoms, but can sometimes be felt as a small swelling on the neck.

In most cases, the cyst does not cause problems, but if it becomes infected, it can become red, swollen and painful. If the cyst is bothersome or infected, it can be surgically removed.

In general, it is a benign condition, and if the cyst is removed, there are rarely any problems afterwards.
What is a median neck cyst
A median neck cyst is a benign, fluid-filled lump that can appear on the front of the neck, usually just under the skin in the middle of the neck. It occurs because an error has occurred in the development of the neck structures during the fetal stage.

The symptoms are a visible swelling on the neck, which is usually painless but can become tender if it becomes infected,
which typically occurs in connection with infectious diseases. The treatment is usually a simple operation, where the cyst is removed with part of the tongue bone, from which the cyst originates. .
