How Complete Cyst Excision is performed
It can be performed under local anesthesia or (if applicable) intravenous sedation. Typically, an incision is made in the skin, dissected to the cyst, and the cyst wall is bluntly dissected along the cyst wall to remove the cyst wall as completely as possible; then hemostasis and irrigation are performed, and layered sutures or tension reduction are selected according to the tension.
