Removal of hygroma
Ganglion cyst removal is a surgical or minimally invasive procedure aimed at eliminating a benign cystic mass filled with synovial fluid. Modern techniques allow effective treatment with minimal tissue trauma and rapid recovery.
When is ganglion cyst removal required?
- Rapid increase in the size of the mass.
- Pain, restricted movement, or compression of nearby nerves and blood vessels.
- Risk of rupture or infection of the cystic lesion.
- Presence of a cosmetic defect (most commonly on the wrist, foot, or fingers).
- Recurrence after conservative treatment.
Methods of ganglion cyst removal
- Surgical excision – complete removal of the ganglion cyst together with its capsule to reduce the risk of recurrence.
- Laser removal – a minimally traumatic method that promotes faster healing.
- Puncture (aspiration) – evacuation of cyst fluid with injection of anti-inflammatory agents (associated with a higher recurrence rate).
- Radiofrequency surgery – bloodless removal with rapid wound healing.
How is the procedure performed?
- Diagnostic evaluation and preparation – clinical examination, ultrasound, MRI if indicated.
- Anesthesia – usually local anesthesia; general anesthesia is rarely required.
- Removal of the ganglion cyst – performed using surgical, laser, or radiofrequency techniques.
- Wound care and suturing if necessary – to prevent inflammation.
- Rehabilitation – use of an elastic bandage and physiotherapy to restore joint mobility.
Main advantages of modern ganglion cyst removal methods in Belarus
- Painless treatment – performed under local anesthesia.
- Low risk of recurrence – complete excision of the cyst capsule.
- Rapid recovery – most patients return to normal activity within one week.
- Excellent cosmetic outcome – minimal scarring when laser or radiofrequency methods are used.
- Minimal invasiveness – gentle techniques reduce postoperative joint stress.
The procedure is performed in leading surgical and orthopedic centers in Belarus using modern techniques. Experienced specialists ensure precise removal, minimal discomfort, and fast patient recovery.
