MIran's Surgery

We seem to be regulars in the surgery department lately. Yesterday was Miran's turn. He had a thyroglossal duct cyst removed from his neck. Basically, what we originally thought was just an oversized Adam's apple, turned out to be a cyst that resulted from a small opening at the base of his tongue that he has had from birth. Tiny bits of saliva had slipped down into his throat and caused a cyst to grow, which he had removed.

Here is a baseline picture of his neck we can compare to the final results later ...
And here are a couple of pictures of him ready for surgery ...
And finally one of him with his big bandage last night (its kind of dark). He goes in this afternoon to have a drainage port removed and have this big bandage replaced for something smaller.
