Thyroglossal Duct Cyst Removal Discharge Instructions

Things to expect

What to do

  1. There is typically no dressing to remove as Dr. York typically uses surgical glue for the surface layer of the closure.
  2. Begin to wash your surgical wound approximately 48 hours after surgery using only warm, soapy, running water. Pat the wound gently rather than scrubbing it.
  3. If a surgical drain was left in place, keep a daily log of the amount of fluid coming out of the drain and bring this with you on your clinic appointments after surgery.
  4. Call Dr. York's clinic to make a postoperative appointment for one week after surgery.
  5. No strenuous physical activity for 2 weeks.
