Brief Answer:
Fistulogram and Sistrunck's operation

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I went through your query and understood your concerns.

Incomplete excision of cyst results in recurrence, so first fistulogram should be done to track complete track of the cyst and surgical removal using Sistrunck's method helps in complete cure of thyroglosal cyst.

So discuss with your ENT specialist about fistulogram and further Sistrunck's operation procedure. It will definitely cures cysts permanently.

Hope I answered your query. Feel free to ask further related query.

Wish you a good health.

Regards
