Cysts are clusters of cells that can form sacs in different parts of your body, often appearing as lumps. Ganglion cysts, which commonly develop around the joints of the hands and feet, can be both uncomfortable and unsightly. At Cherrywood Foot Care, we focus on the expert surgical removal of these cysts and other similar issues. Most cyst removal procedures are done on an outpatient basis, meaning you can go home the same day.
What to Expect During the Cyst Removal Procedure
During the surgery, we carefully dissect the cyst from the surrounding soft tissues to remove it completely. Recovery time can vary based on the cyst’s location and how much tissue we need to work with during the procedure. Patients may be fitted with a splint or a below-the-knee cast and might need to use crutches for a few days to up to three weeks, especially if the cyst is near the ankle joint.
Understanding the Risks
While cyst removal is generally safe, there are potential complications such as infection, swelling, and nerve damage. Our experienced, board-certified team at Cherrywood Foot Care is dedicated to not only removing your cyst but also guiding you through the recovery process to ensure a smooth healing experience.
