In general, a tendon cyst refers to a benign, sac-like lump that develops in the tendon area. The contents of the cyst are typically fluid-filled and can be surgically removed. The specific procedure is as follows:
1. Locate the cyst and disinfect the area. After disinfection, lay down sterile drapes.
2. Administer local anesthesia to the surgical site.
3. Make a transverse incision centered on the cyst, cut through the skin along the surface of the cyst, and then progressively separate the soft tissues layer by layer until the cyst is fully exposed.
4. Use scissors to dissect the base of the cyst and completely remove it.
5. Suture the skin layer by layer, then apply sterile dressings and compressive bandaging over the wound.
This surgical procedure requires professional expertise. To avoid causing harm to the body, it is recommended to perform the operation under the guidance of a qualified physician. After surgery, ensure adequate rest and take precautions to prevent recurrence of the condition.
