About Ganglion Cyst

A ganglion cyst excision is a common outpatient surgical procedure performed by a general surgeon to remove a non-cancerous, fluid-filled lump that typically forms near joints or tendons, most often on the wrist or hand. These cysts, while usually harmless, can cause pain, numbness, or limit joint mobility. The surgery involves making a small incision over the cyst, carefully dissecting it from the surrounding tissues, and removing the entire sac and its stalk to minimize the chance of recurrence. This definitive treatment is considered when the cyst is symptomatic or cosmetically bothersome, offering patients relief and restored function with minimal scarring.

Key Highlights

Definitive treatment to remove the cyst and its connection (stalk) to the joint or tendon sheath.Performed as a minor outpatient procedure, often under local anesthesia.Minimally invasive approach with a small incision, leading to minimal scarring.Effectively relieves pain, numbness, and restores full range of motion in the affected joint.Significantly reduces the high likelihood of recurrence compared to non-surgical methods like aspiration.

Who is this surgery for?

Persistent pain or discomfort that interferes with daily activities or sleep.
Numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness caused by the cyst pressing on a nearby nerve.
Significant limitation in the range of motion of the adjacent joint.
Cyst that is enlarging or causing cosmetic concern for the patient.
Failure of conservative treatments, such as observation, splinting, or aspiration (draining the cyst with a needle).

How to prepare

Pre-operative consultation with the surgeon to discuss the procedure, risks, and benefits.
Disclosure of all current medications, supplements, and allergies to the medical team.
You may be asked to stop taking blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen) several days before surgery.

Bleeding or hematoma (collection of blood under the skin).

Stitches are usually removed 10-14 days after surgery.
Gradual return to normal activities is encouraged; gentle range-of-motion exercises may be started as advised by your surgeon.
Avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activity with the affected limb for 4-6 weeks to allow proper tissue healing.
