Surgery
Ganglions can be treated in a variety of ways. They can be aspirated, however this treatment is known to have a very high recurrence rate. A more definitive treatment is to have them cut out. It is essential that all ganglion tissue is properly removed to limit the risk of recurrence.
After surgery
After surgery you will have a compressive dressing that can be removed the following day. Because ganglions often originate from joints, their removal leads to aching joint pain that may persist for several weeks. You should avoid any strenuous physical activity for two weeks. If you work in an office setting, you should be able to return to work after a few days. |
