How Open Excision (Large/Recurrent) is performed
Under thorough evaluation, the common practice is to select an incision along the skin folds, separate and expose the cyst, and pay attention to protecting adjacent nerves and blood vessels; find the part communicating with the joint, treat or close it, completely remove the cyst body and stop bleeding, and place drainage as appropriate. Postoperative monitoring of the wound and swelling aims to relieve compression, relieve pain, and reduce re-formation. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
