Safe and Simple Wrist Ganglion Removal
The procedure involves the removal of a wrist ganglion, which is a fluid-filled sac that develops on the back of the wrist. The patient is typically placed under local anesthesia, and the surgeon makes a small incision over the ganglion. The sac is carefully dissected from surrounding tissues and removed. The surgeon may also remove any stalk or cyst wall that is attached to the ganglion. The incision is then closed with sutures or steri-strips, and a dressing is applied. The patient is usually able to go home on the same day and can resume normal activities within a few days. Follow-up appointments may be necessary to ensure proper healing and to monitor for any complications. Overall, the procedure is relatively simple and safe, with a low risk of complications.
