Branchial Cleft Cyst Surgery in India. A branchial cleft cyst is a type of birth defect in which a lump develops on one or both sides of your child’s neck or below the collarbone. This type of birth defect is also known as a branchial cleft remnant.This birth defect occurs during embryonic development when tissues in the neck and collarbone, or branchial cleft, don’t develop normally. It may appear as an opening on one or both sides of your child’s neck. Fluid draining from these openings may form in a pocket, or a cyst. This can become infected or seep out of an opening in your child’s skin.
Laryngectomy is the removal of the larynx and separation of the airway from the mouth, nose and esophagus.
In a total laryngectomy, the entire larynx is removed (including the vocal folds, hyoid bone, epiglottis, thyroid and cricoid cartilage and a few tracheal cartilagerings).
In a partial laryngectomy, only a portion of the larynx is removed.
Following the procedure, the person breathes through an opening in the neck known as a stoma.
This procedure is usually performed by ENT surgeon in cases of laryngeal cancer, and an individual's quality of life can be affected post-surgery.
