Operative procedure of minimally invasive surgery for ganglion cyst

Generally, a ganglion cyst is a common orthopedic condition that frequently occurs in the foot and hand, and it can usually be surgically removed. Taking a ganglion cyst of the foot as an example, the specific procedure is as follows:

1. Position the patient in a supine position and perform routine disinfection of the surgical area using iodophor or medical alcohol, then drape with sterile towels.

2. Administer local infiltration anesthesia.

3. After the anesthesia has taken effect, make a longitudinal incision through the skin and subcutaneous tissue using a scalpel.

4. Separate the soft tissues and retract them to expose the ganglion cyst, then completely remove the cyst wall.

5. Check whether the stalk of the cyst communicates with the joint cavity, and gradually close off the connecting passage.

6. If bleeding occurs, control it promptly. After hemostasis is achieved, suture the incision layer by layer and dress with sterile dressings.

If surgery for a ganglion cyst is required, it is recommended to go to a正规 hospital and have the procedure performed under the guidance of a qualified physician to reduce surgical risks. After surgery, ensure adequate rest and avoid strenuous physical activity in the short term to promote proper healing.
