Expert care for thyroglossal duct cysts, branchial cleft cysts, thyroid conditions, and tongue-tie surgery. Compassionate pediatric surgeons in Austin. Head & Neck Surgery THYROGLOSSAL DUCT CYST BRANCHIAL CLEFT CYST THYROID DISEASE / SURGERY TONGUE TIE SURGERY Our team of pediatric surgeons specializes in diagnosing and treating various head and neck conditions. Whether congenital or acquired, we’re dedicated to providing expert care tailored to your child’s unique needs. Thyroglossal Duct Cyst What is it? A thyroglossal duct cyst is the most common neck condition that your child can be born with. It can look like a painless lump in the upper neck, which may move when swallowing or sticking out the tongue. They can become infected, which is why we recommend removing them when they are diagnosed. Evaluation and Diagnosis Diagnosis is usually made through a physical exam. An ultrasound can be used to confirm the cyst and ensure the thyroid gland is normal. Treatment Surgery (the Sistrunk procedure) removes the cyst and its associated duct under general anesthesia. Infections must be treated first. Children may go home the same day as the procedure or stay overnight. Recurrence is rare, but possible. Follow-Up Care Post-surgery instructions will include wound care and activity guidelines. Pain is managed with over the counter medications. Follow-up appointments occur 2-4 weeks after surgery. When to Call the Doctor Contact your doctor if signs of infection (redness, swelling, or fever), neck swelling, or other concerns arise. Branchial Cleft Cyst What is it? This neck condition your child is born with is from abnormal development of the different glands and structures on the side of the neck. Most commonly, it appears as a painless swelling or a small skin opening that may intermittently drain fluid. Evaluation and Diagnosis Diagnosis is based on a physical exam and ultrasound. CT or MRI may be needed for unclear cases. Treatment Surgery removes the cyst or sinus under general anesthesia, with infections treated first. The procedure lasts 1-2 hours, and your child may go home the same day or stay overnight. Recurrence risk is low. Follow-Up Care Wound care and pain management instructions will be provided, and a follow-up visit is scheduled 2-4 weeks post-surgery. When to Call the Doctor Contact your doctor if signs of infection (redness, swelling, or fever), neck swelling, or other concerns arise. Thyroid Disease What is it? The thyroid gland regulates metabolism and other body functions. Conditions include thyroid nodules, hyperthyroidism, and hypothyroidism, which may present as lumps, fatigue, or mood changes. Evaluation and Diagnosis Diagnosis involves a physical exam, blood tests, and ultrasounds. A biopsy may be recommended for thyroid nodules. Treatment Certain thyroid conditions require surgery to remove a portion of the thyroid or the entire thyroid. Our group has a specialty program dedicated to specifically taking care of children with surgical thyroid conditions, led by Dr. Jeffrey Horwitz . Follow-Up Care Post-surgery care includes monitoring hormone levels, wound care, and medication for those with full thyroid removal. A follow-up visit occurs 1-2 weeks post-surgery. When to Call the Doctor Contact your doctor if signs of infection (redness, swelling, or fever), neck swelling, or other concerns arise. Thyroid Surgery Program Although thyroid disease is less common in children compared to adults, occasionally surgical issues arise. Most commonly this is for an overactive thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism) or a concerning thyroid nodule. Treating pediatric thyroid disease requires a multidisciplinary approach. As the lead surgeon of our Thyroid Surgery Program, Dr. Jeffrey Horwitz works closely with our partners in pediatric endocrinology, pediatric radiology and pediatric pathology. In addition, because recent studies have suggested that high volume thyroid surgeons (performing > 30 cases/year) have improved outcomes, Dr. Horwitz has partnered with Dr. Teresa Kroeker, one of the region’s leading adult thyroid surgeons. This collaboration between pediatric surgeons and a high-volume adult thyroid surgeon optimizes the care of children with surgical thyroid disease conferring the benefits of both a high volume thyroid surgeon and high volume pediatric surgical care. Tongue-Tie Surgery What is it? Tongue-tie (ankyloglossia) occurs when a tissue band restricts tongue movement. It may interfere with feeding or speech. Treatment Pediatric tongue-tie surgery releases the tongue and is performed under general or local anesthesia, depending on age. Recovery involves minimal discomfort managed with over the counter medication.

Austin Pediatric Surgery specializes in minimally invasive hernia procedures, including inguinal, umbilical and epigastric hernias. Quicker recovery and less pain for your child. Hernias UMBILICAL INGUINAL EPIGASTRIC OUR HERNIA PROGRAM Umbilical Hernia What is an Umbilical Hernia? An umbilical hernia is a bulge near the belly button caused by an opening in the abdominal wall that didn’t close fully during development. It’s most noticeable when a child cries or strains but typically isn’t painful. Most umbilical hernias resolve by age 4-5 years. Surgical closure may be needed if the hernia is still present beyond that age or if the child has symptoms. Evaluation and Diagnosis A pediatric surgeon confirms the diagnosis through a physical exam. Extra tests like imaging are rarely needed. Treatment Surgery is recommended if the hernia doesn’t close by age 4-5 years. General anesthesia is required for the procedure. Most children can go home from the recovery room after the surgery. Follow-Up Care Recovery is straightforward, with minimal restrictions for 2-3 weeks. Follow-up visits ensure proper healing and monitor for rare recurrences. When to Call the Doctor Contact your surgeon for fever, signs of infection, or persistent pain. Seek urgent care for symptoms of incarceration, like severe pain or a firm, red bulge. Inguinal Hernia What is an Inguinal Hernia? An inguinal hernia appears as a bulge in the groin, sometimes extending to the scrotum in boys. It occurs when abdominal contents pass through a small hole in a layer of the abdominal wall in the groin area. This is something that babies are born with, however, sometimes they can take time to diagnose. These hernias don’t resolve on their own and require surgical repair after the diagnosis is made. Evaluation and Diagnosis Diagnosis is based on the history of a groin bulge and physical examination. Ultrasounds are sometimes used to help confirm the diagnosis, but are not necessary. Treatment Surgical repair closes the hole or defect using stitches. Inguinal hernias in children are different from inguinal hernias in adults, so typically mesh is not required for the closure. Surgery requires general anesthesia and, depending on the age of the baby, can often be done as an outpatient procedure. Follow-Up Care Children recover quickly, with minimal discomfort managed by over-the-counter medication. Follow-up appointments check for healing and rare recurrences. When to Call the Doctor Contact your surgeon for fever, signs of infection, or persistent pain. Seek urgent care for symptoms of incarceration, like severe pain or a firm, red bulge. Epigastric Hernia What is an Epigastric Hernia? An epigastric hernia is an opening in the abdominal wall above the belly button. These hernias don’t close on their own. They often do not have symptoms, however sometimes can cause pain. Evaluation and Diagnosis Epigastric hernias are typically identified during physical exams, especially when a child stretches or arches their back. Treatment Surgical repair closes the opening with stitches. General anesthesia is required for the procedure and most kids go home from the recovery room after surgery. Follow-Up Care Children recover quickly, with minimal discomfort managed by over-the-counter medication. Follow-up appointments check for healing. When to Call the Doctor Contact your surgeon for fever, signs of infection, or persistent pain. Seek urgent care for symptoms of incarceration, like severe pain or a firm, red bulge. Other Hernias Our surgeons are experts in repairing all types of abdominal wall hernias, including parastomal and ventral hernias. For questions, call us at (512) 708-1234. Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Program Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) is a problem that babies are born with in which a portion of the diaphragm has not formed correctly. The diaphragm is the muscle that separates the abdominal cavity from the chest cavity to help you breathe. When a CDH occurs, the intestines, liver and other organs push up into the chest and prevent the normal development of the lungs. The lungs are smaller than they should be and the blood vessels in the lungs also don’t work well, frequently preventing blood to flow like it should through the lungs. This is called pulmonary hypertension. There are a number of tests and measurements that can be done as a fetus to assess the severity of the diaphragmatic problem. Babies born with CDH can be very sick soon after birth and may need to go on a heart lung bypass machine known as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, or ECMO. Usually the surgery to repair the CDH is done in the first days or weeks of life. Depending on how much of the diaphragm is absent, the repair may include placing a patch of synthetic material where the diaphragm should be. Babies with CDH are often in the hospital for a long time after birth but we are there every step of the way with you, your baby, and your family to help make it as easy as possible. We are also there to follow up with you after you go home from the hospital. We will see your baby regularly and are always available as a resource for questions or concerns. Austin Pediatric Surgery leads a multidisciplinary team of maternal fetal medicine doctors, neonatologists, pediatric intensive care doctors, ECMO specialists, cardiologists, pulmonoligist and other doctors to take care of babies with CDH. We use the most up to date techniques and equipment to take care of these babies. If you have any questions about the CDH program, please contact us at Austin Pediatric Surgery. What is it? A hole in the diaphragm (muscle that helps you breath), which allows abdominal organs to move into the chest, impacting lung development. Treatment Surgery to repair the hole in the diaphragm to keep the abdominal organs out of the chest. Some babies with CDH can be very sick when they are born and require heart and lung bypass with ECMO. Follow-Up Long-term care for breathing, feeding, and developmental challenges.

Austin Pediatric Surgery treats Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and IBD with specialized surgical care designed for children’s unique needs. Inflammatory Bowel Disease CROHN’S DISEASE ULCERATIVE COLITIS IBD UNSPECIFIED Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an immune mediated inflammation of the intestines which can afflict pediatric patients. Although most IBD in children is treated with medicines, some children require surgical care for complex disease. The team at Austin Pediatric Surgery is committed to the care of children with IBD. We offer advanced treatments using minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopic ileocecectomy and colectomy with ileoanal pouch reconstruction. We work as a team with gastroenterologist to ensure you and your children receive the best multidisciplinary care we can provide. Dr. Jessica Naiditch is a board certified pediatric surgeon who has a special interest in IBD and leads the surgical IBD team at APS. Crohn’s Disease What is it? Crohn’s Disease causes inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract and can affect any portion of the intestines. It can result in strictures, fistulas, or blockages in the bowel. Signs and Symptoms Abdominal pain, fatigue, weight loss Persistent diarrhea or rectal bleeding Mouth ulcers or skin infections Possible effects on the liver, kidneys, and joints Evaluation and Diagnosis Diagnosis involves stool and blood tests, imaging (MRI/CT scans), and endoscopy with biopsies to confirm inflammation and disease extent. Treatment Medications: Steroids, immunomodulators, or biologics Surgery: Reserved for complications like bowel narrowing or fistulas, focusing on preserving intestinal length Follow-Up Care Ongoing gastroenterology follow-ups with nutritional and surgical monitoring are essential to maintain growth and minimize symptoms. Ulcerative Colitis (UC) What is it? UC is an inflammatory condition affecting the colon (large intestine)’s inner lining, causing pain, diarrhea, and bloody stool. Unlike Crohn’s, UC is limited to the colon and rectum. Signs and Symptoms Abdominal pain, weight loss, bloody diarrhea Symptoms outside the intestine, such as joint or skin issues Evaluation and Diagnosis Similar to Crohn’s, diagnosis requires bloodwork, imaging, and colonoscopy with biopsies to assess inflammation and disease progression. Treatment Medications: Similar to Crohn’s Surgery: Removal of the colon with reconstruction of the intestinal pathway (ileoanal pull-through procedure) can be curative Follow-Up Care Close monitoring with both surgical and gastroenterology teams ensures proper healing and growth. IBD Unspecified (IBDU) What is it? IBDU is diagnosed when symptoms overlap between Crohn’s and UC. It is more common in children and often requires less medical treatment. Treatment and Follow-Up Managed similarly to other IBD types, with an emphasis on monitoring symptoms and minimizing interventions. At Austin Pediatric Surgery, we are committed to helping your child manage IBD with expert care, whether through advanced medical treatments or surgery. Contact us for compassionate guidance tailored to your child’s needs.

Offering minimally invasive solutions for appendicitis, bowel obstructions, reflux, and other pediatric gastrointestinal conditions. Gastrointestinal Surgery APPENDICITIS MECKEL’S DIVERTICULUM ESOPHAGEAL DISORDERS INTESTINAL (BOWEL) OBSTRUCTION GASTROSTOMY PLACEMENT OTHER ABDOMINAL SURGERY Our team of pediatric surgeons specializes in diagnosing and treating gastrointestinal conditions in children. From common issues like appendicitis to complex conditions like bowel obstructions, we provide expert care designed to help your child recover quickly and comfortably. Appendicitis What is it? Appendicitis occurs when the appendix becomes blocked and inflamed, often requiring surgery. It is one of the most common reasons otherwise healthy children need surgery. Signs and Symptoms Abdominal pain, typically on the right side Nausea, vomiting, fever, and loss of appetite Diagnosis Diagnosis is based on symptoms, lab tests, and ultrasound. Additional imaging such as CT scans or MRI may be needed to make the diagnosis. Treatment Most cases require laparoscopic surgery to remove the appendix. In certain cases, antibiotics alone may be considered. Follow-Up Care Recovery depends on the surgery performed. Contact your surgeon for any concerns. Meckel’s Diverticulum What is it? This congenital condition involves an outpouching in the small intestine, sometimes can cause bleeding. Signs and Symptoms Abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting Bleeding or blockages Diagnosis Tests like a Meckel’s scan or CT scan can be helpful to confirm the condition. Treatment Surgical removal via laparoscopic or open surgery is performed for symptomatic cases. Intestinal (Bowel) Obstruction What is it? An obstruction prevents food or stool from passing through the intestine, caused by scar tissue, twisting, or congenital conditions. Signs and Symptoms Abdominal pain, vomiting, bloating Inability to pass gas Diagnosis Imaging tests like X-rays or CT scans confirm the blockage. Treatment Initial care includes bowel rest, IV fluids, decompression of the intestine with a tube in the nose and possibly surgery for severe cases. Gastrostomy Placement What is a Gastrostomy? A gastrostomy is when the stomach is connected to the abdominal wall using sutures to form a tract between the stomach and the skin. What is a G-button? A G-button (also called a gastrostomy button, gastrostomy tube, or G-tube) is a small tube that is surgically placed into the stomach through a small cut in the abdomen. This is a long-term and more sturdy way to receive medications and nutrition when oral feeding is not sufficient or deemed unsafe. Device Management You will learn to give feeds and medications through the G-button/G-tube. You will also learn how to clean the area once or twice a day and connect/disconnect the tubing. G-button changes are done as needed and at minimum every 6 months routinely. This can be done in the clinic or at home and is not a painful procedure. Nutrition is managed by the pediatrician, dietitian, or gastroenterology. The device itself is managed by your surgical team or the g-tube nurse practitioner. How Long is the G-button in Place? The G-button or G-tube can remain for as long as your child needs it based on their medical condition. If all nutrition and medications are sufficiently taken orally, your primary physicians will give clearance to remove the G-button. The site will either close spontaneously or will require surgical closure. Esophageal Disorders We specialize in the full spectrum of pediatric esophageal disorders (such as achalasia, congenital esophageal stenosis, esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula, duplication cysts, reflux) in infants and children and work collaboratively with other specialists to provide a tailored multidisciplinary treatment plan for your child's specific disorder.
