How many days swallowing remain difficult after sistrunk procedure and complete removal of hyoid bone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Most patients recover after 1-2 weeks. However every patient is unique and every operation is unique. I would contact the Surgery team who performed the operation and discuss how you are feeling. Make sure you go for scheduled followup visits so the Surgeon can make sure there are no complications and that the wound is healing. Good luck!
