Ganglion Cyst Removal Surgery

Expert

Overview

A ganglion cyst is a fluid-filled lump that usually develops near joints or tendons, commonly found on the wrist, hand, foot, or fingers. These cysts are non-cancerous but can cause pain, discomfort, and limited movement. When the cyst becomes painful or restricts motion, ganglion cyst treatment such as removal surgery may be required.

Why Ganglion Cyst Removal Surgery is Required?

  • The cyst causes pain or discomfort.
  • It interferes with movement, especially in the wrist, hand, or foot.
  • The cyst keeps coming back despite non-surgical treatments.
  • It puts pressure on nerves causing numbness or weakness.
  • The cyst appears unsightly and affects confidence.

Key Advantages of Ganglion Cyst Removal Surgery

  • Permanent Solution: Unlike aspiration (draining), surgery removes the cyst completely, reducing the chance of recurrence.
  • Pain Relief: Eliminates discomfort caused by pressure on nerves and joints.
  • Restored Movement: Improves flexibility in the affected area, such as the wrist, hand, or foot.
  • Minimally Invasive Options: Some procedures use small incisions, leading to faster healing.
  • Enhanced Aesthetic Appearance: Removes visible lumps, improving the look of hands or feet.

How Should You Prepare Yourself Before Surgery?

  • Consult a doctor to confirm the need for surgery.
  • Discuss medical history, ongoing medications, and allergies.
  • Stop blood thinning medicines like aspirin (if advised).
  • Avoid eating or drinking for a few hours before surgery (as per doctor’s instructions).
  • Arrange for someone to assist you after surgery, especially if it involves the dominant hand or foot.

How Ganglion Cyst Removal Surgery is Performed?

  • Open Surgery: A small incision is made over the cyst, and it is removed along with its root.
  • Arthroscopic Surgery (Keyhole Surgery): A tiny camera (arthroscope) and tools are used to remove the cyst through small cuts, leading to quicker recovery.

What You Can Expect?

  • Before Procedure: Local or general anesthesia is given, and the surgical site is marked.
  • During Procedure: A small incision is made, the cyst is removed, and the incision is stitched and bandaged.
  • After Procedure: Mild swelling may occur; recovery usually takes 2–6 weeks; physiotherapy may be advised.

Risk and Potential Complications

  • Infection at the surgical site.
  • Recurrence of the cyst (rare).
  • Scarring or stiffness in the joint.
  • Nerve damage causing temporary numbness.

Results / Outcomes

  • Most patients experience long-term relief after the procedure.
  • Improved joint movement and reduction in pain.
  • Low chance of cyst recurrence when properly removed.
