Ganglion Cyst or Lipoma

What is Excision of Ganglion Cyst or Lipoma?

• Ganglion Cyst Excision: A procedure to remove a fluid-filled lump that commonly forms on the wrist, hand, or foot.
• Lipoma Excision: The surgical removal of a soft, fatty, non-cancerous lump that forms under the skin.

This procedure is recommended for patients experiencing:

• Pain or discomfort from a ganglion cyst or lipoma.
• Restricted movement due to the lump's location.
• Cosmetic concerns affecting confidence.
• Recurrent or enlarging cysts/lipomas.

How is the Procedure Performed?

• A small incision is made over the lump.
• The ganglion cyst or lipoma is carefully removed.
• The incision is sutured closed, leaving minimal scarring.
• The procedure is done under local or general anesthesia, and most patients can return home the same day.
