A cyst is a pathological formation with a cavity filled with fluid. Cysts can occur in the tissues of any organs. Head and neck cysts, as well as those in the brain and face, are very dangerous due to their location. Therefore, the treatment of head and neck cysts in Israel is entrusted only to the most experienced specialists, who have both expertise and advanced technologies for the proper removal of cysts without consequences for the patient.
Treatment Methods for Head and Neck Cysts in Israel
Cysts are classified by location, formation mechanism, wall structure, and contents. These neoplasms can be either congenital (due to tissue defects) or acquired.
The methods for treating head and neck cysts in Israel directly depend on their location, nature, and type.
- If a cyst is present, it is indicated for incision and drainage. The patient undergoes regular rinsing of the cyst cavity with antiseptics and is prescribed anti-inflammatory medications.
- If the cavity does not heal after the treatment course, surgical removal of the cyst is performed after a few months. For treating formations in remission, cystectomy is the only method of choice. Cysts in the neck are removed under intravenous anesthesia. To avoid recurrences, the cyst is excised along with its capsule. The removal of lateral neck cysts is always associated with a higher risk due to closely located vessels and nerves. At Top Ihilov clinic, world-class specialists work, allowing for radical removal of the neoplasm while fully preserving the branches of the facial nerve. The prognosis for such operations is always favorable.
