Ganglion cyst of the wrist: Patients typically require approximately two weeks before returning to work after surgery. Complete wound healing usually takes over two months. During recovery, patients should maintain good wound hygiene and avoid bacterial infection. Diet should be light and bland; spicy, stimulating, or excessively cold foods should be avoided.
