How Needle Extraction/Curettage is performed
Fine needle extraction/curettage is a mechanical minimally invasive procedure, and topical or local anesthesia can be selected; necessary protection will be taken when close to the eyes. The common procedure is to make a small incision on the surface with a fine needle under sterile conditions, gently press or use a small curette to remove the keratin contents, apply pressure to stop bleeding if necessary, and cover with adhesive dressing and repair ointment. Postoperatively, observe for bleeding and signs of infection, and provide guidance on cleaning and sun protection, with the goal of removing the cyst contents with the smallest incision and promoting epidermal healing. The above is general health information and not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
