How Cyst Excision (Open/Arthroscopic) is performed
Under regional or general anesthesia, the cyst and its connection to the joint/tendon sheath are exposed via an open or arthroscopic approach. The cyst is usually excised and the base is treated, with repair of surrounding tissues if necessary; after irrigation and hemostasis are completed, layered sutures and pressure bandaging are applied. Postoperatively, pain, swelling, and sensation circulation are monitored, and functional exercises are gradually performed under guidance. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
