Ganglion Cyst

Description

A ganglion cyst is a fluid-filled sac that forms on top of a joint, ligament, or tendon. 

Symptoms

Visible lump, discomfort, pain, and/or difficulty walking or wearing shoes

Treatment Options

If the cyst is bothersome, it can either be drained in the office or removed surgically. 

Treatment Option Description (with Duration)

Depending on the size of the cyst and the severity of the symptoms, the cyst can be drained in the office. With this method of treatment, there is a high chance that the cyst will re-form. If the cyst keeps coming back, or if it keeps getting larger and more painful, surgery may be needed to remove it. 

Expected Outcome

If surgery is required for removal of the ganglion cyst, the surgery is performed in an outpatint setting, which means that you can go home after the surgery is over. Normal activity can be resumed 4-6 weeks after surgery.
