What is a ganglion cyst?
A ganglion cyst is a fluid-filled sac that forms near joints or tendons, often in the wrist or hand.
Is the excision procedure painful?
Local anesthesia is used to minimize pain during the procedure, and discomfort afterward can be managed with medication.

Most patients can return to normal activities within a few weeks, but full recovery may take longer.
Will the cyst come back after surgery?
While excision reduces the chance of recurrence, it is still possible for the cyst to return.
