About Submucous Cyst Excision

Submucous cyst excision is a precise surgical procedure performed by a general surgeon to remove abnormal fluid-filled sacs (cysts) that develop beneath the mucous membrane lining of various body cavities, most commonly in the oral cavity (like ranulas), larynx, or nasal passages. The procedure aims to alleviate symptoms such as obstruction, discomfort, or recurrent infections by completely excising the cyst wall to prevent recurrence. It is typically performed under local or general anesthesia, often using minimally invasive techniques for better access and minimal tissue disruption. This outpatient surgery is known for its high success rate in providing definitive treatment and improving the patient's quality of life by resolving functional and cosmetic concerns associated with these benign growths.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Persistent or enlarging submucous cyst causing visible swelling or deformity.

  • Patient discomfort, pain, or cosmetic concern related to the cyst.
  • Failure of conservative management (e.g., aspiration) with rapid re-accumulation.

How to prepare

  • Comprehensive medical evaluation and history to assess anesthesia risk.
  • Diagnostic imaging (e.g., ultrasound, MRI, or CT scan) to map cyst size and location.
  • Pre-operative blood tests and possibly an ECG as advised.
  • Discussion of anesthesia type (local or general) and procedure details with the surgeon.

PATIENT REVIEW

I was a total wreck before...

I was a total wreck before my appointment. First time seeing a doctor on my own and I was convinced it was something serious. Dr. Ram just listened, didn't rush me, and explained everything in a way that actually calmed me down. The hospital is huge and a bit overwhelming, but he made it feel okay. Left feeling like I could breathe again.
