These embryonic pathways, which should completely close and disappear before birth, sometimes fail to close, remaining as fluid-filled sacs. These are called &quot;Congenital Neck Cysts.&quot; They are most commonly found in the midline of the neck (thyroglossal cyst) or on the side (branchial cyst). Often, they remain asymptomatic until childhood. However, when a child contracts an upper respiratory infection (flu, tonsillitis), the cyst suddenly becomes infected, swells, reddens, and abscesses, becoming a very painful mass. Treatment is not simply draining it with a syringe or using antibiotics; surgical removal of the entire duct (root) of the cyst is necessary. Otherwise, the swelling recurs with each infection and can perforate the neck skin, leading to permanent discharge (fistula).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div

As Dr. Nurten K\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck, my first priority is to alleviate their panic by demonstrating, using ultrasound, that the mass is a benign congenital cyst. However, this innocence doesn&#039;t mean we&#039;ll leave the cyst there. My two most important surgical principles are: to meticulously remove the cyst, following its path like a tree root all the way to the bone tissue, leaving no trace (to prevent recurrence), and to perform this procedure through an aesthetically pleasing incision hidden within the natural skin of the neck. For me, ensuring the child doesn&#039;t have a noticeable surgical scar on their neck when they grow up is as vital a success criterion as successfully removing the

Because the incision in the neck area is in a very aesthetically pleasing location that doesn&#039;t cause tension, children experience very little pain after surgery. They can easily return to school after 3-4 days of rest at home. They are only advised to avoid strenuous sports and rough play that could cause a blow to the neck during the complete healing process of the incision (first 2 weeks).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9dd5788 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"9dd5788\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-18b8116 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"18b8116\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-05556db elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"05556db\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Take the first step towards an accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6ee3ed1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6ee3ed1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>For an initial consultation, examination, and personalized treatment plan, please contact us immediately.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2fab370 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"2fab370\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e668d8c elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"e668d8c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;pulse&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm elementor-animation-shrink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.drnurtenkucuk.com\/en\/ileti%e1%b9%a3im\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Book an Appointment<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4ceadc9 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"4ceadc9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;pulse&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm elementor-animation-shrink\" href=\"https:\/\/wa.me\/905058758548\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fab-whatsapp\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M380.9 97.1C339 55.1 283.2 32 223.9 32c-122.4 0-222 99.6-222 222 0 39.1 10.2 77.3 29.6 111L0 480l117.7-30.9c32.4 17.7 68.9 27 106.1 27h.1c122.3 0 224.1-99.6 224.1-222 0-59.3-25.2-115-67.1-157zm-157 341.6c-33.2 0-65.7-8.9-94-25.7l-6.7-4-69.8 18.3L72 359.2l-4.4-7c-18.5-29.4-28.2-63.3-28.2-98.2 0-101.7 82.8-184.5 184.6-184.5 49.3 0 95.6 19.2 130.4 54.1 34.8 34.9 56.2 81.2 56.1 130.5 0 101.8-84.9 184.6-186.6 184.6zm101.2-138.2c-5.5-2.8-32.8-16.2-37.9-18-5.1-1.9-8.8-2.8-12.5 2.8-3.7 5.6-14.3 18-17.6 21.8-3.2 3.7-6.5 4.2-12 1.4-32.6-16.3-54-29.1-75.5-66-5.7-9.8 5.7-9.1 16.3-30.3 1.8-3.7.9-6.9-.5-9.7-1.4-2.8-12.5-30.1-17.1-41.2-4.5-10.8-9.1-9.3-12.5-9.5-3.2-.2-6.9-.2-10.6-.2-3.7 0-9.7 1.4-14.8 6.9-5.1 5.6-19.4 19-19.4 46.3 0 27.3 19.9 53.7 22.6 57.4 2.8 3.7 39.1 59.7 94.8 83.8 35.2 15.2 49 16.5 66.6 13.9 10.7-1.6 32.8-13.4 37.4-26.4 4.6-13 4.6-24.1 3.2-26.4-1.3-2.5-5-3.9-10.5-6.6z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Problems with WhatsApp<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boyundaki Endi\u015fe Verici \u015ei\u015fliklere Estetik ve Kal\u0131c\u0131 \u00c7\u00f6z\u00fcm: Do\u011fumsal Boyun Kistleri Cerrahisi \u00c7ocu\u011funuzun boynunda aniden beliren, bazen k\u0131zar\u0131p a\u011fr\u0131 yapan o gizemli kitleler sizi hakl\u0131 olarak tela\u015fland\u0131rabilir.
