Surgical removal of a Ganglion Cyst from the wrist or hand, when the cyst is painful or limits movement.
Ganglion Cyst Treatment
A Ganglion Cyst is a lump filled with thick, jelly-like fluid that grows from a joint or from the lining of a tendon. It is most often found on the back of the wrist, and also on the palm side of the wrist, at the base of a finger or near the last joint of a finger. Ganglion Cysts are benign, and an examination confirms that a lump is a ganglion rather than something else. At PRIME Orthopedics & Regenerative Center, Dr. Abbasi, board certified in Orthopedic Surgery and Sports Medicine, performs Ganglion Cyst Removal when symptoms warrant surgery.
Common Questions
Do I have to have surgery?
Not necessarily. Treatment begins with the most conservative appropriate option, and Dr. Abbasi recommends surgery only when he believes it is warranted.
Is a Ganglion Cyst dangerous?
Ganglion Cysts are benign. The consultation confirms that a lump is a ganglion, by examination and, where needed, imaging, before any treatment is planned.
Will the cyst go away on its own?
Some do, and many change size over time, which is why a painless cyst is often watched rather than treated.
Can a ganglion come back after it is removed?
It can. The operation removes the stalk as well as the cyst, because the stalk is where a ganglion grows from, and the chance of it returning is discussed with you before the operation.
How long before I can use my hand normally?
Light use of the hand usually resumes within the first few weeks, and heavier use builds up from around six weeks as comfort allows. Wrist stiffness and scar tenderness can take several months to settle.
Do you take insurance?
Medicare and most PPO plans are accepted for consultations and surgical care. Regenerative injections are paid for directly. Please call the office to confirm what applies to your plan.To check your plan, call (561) 465-8884, or Book an Appointment.
