About Arthroscopic Debridement Ganglion Cyst

Arthroscopic debridement of a ganglion cyst is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed by orthopedic surgeons to remove a ganglion cyst and address any associated joint damage. Using an arthroscope, a small camera inserted through tiny incisions, the surgeon visualizes the joint, removes the fluid-filled cyst, and cleans out (debrides) any loose cartilage, bone fragments, or inflamed tissue. This technique is commonly used for cysts around the wrist, knee, or ankle that cause pain, limit movement, or are linked to underlying joint issues like arthritis. Compared to open surgery, arthroscopy offers the benefits of smaller scars, less post-operative pain, and a faster recovery, allowing patients to return to daily activities more quickly.

Key Highlights

PATIENT REVIEW

Had my gallbladder out at MGM....

Had my gallbladder out at MGM. Dr. Vinod was really clear about what to expect after. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie, but his team had a good plan for the pain that actually worked. Follow-up was simple, he just told me to take it easy and call if anything felt off. Felt normal again quicker than I thought.
