10. Surgery

Ganglion cyst surgery is the second must elective referral to surgeons. Surgery is only recommended in cases where the cyst is painful, continuously returns, or is in a location that causes immobilization of a joint. It is less likely that a cyst will return after surgery. Surgery is most often completed through a small incision and typically heals quickly. In most cases, an orthopedic or hand surgeon will perform the procedure. You may require physical or occupational therapy after the surgery.
