What is a ganglion cyst?
A ganglion cyst is a fluid-filled sac that forms near joints or tendons, often in the wrist.
Is the excision procedure painful?
Local anesthesia is used, so you should not feel pain during the procedure.
How long does recovery take?
Most patients can return to normal activities within a few weeks, depending on healing.
Will the cyst come back after surgery?
There is a chance of recurrence, but excision reduces this risk significantly.
