Cyst excision is a minimally invasive surgical procedure requiring a small incision at or near the affected site and draining the cyst through the incision. This treatment method is selected when the cyst becomes infected, causes pain, and disrupts normal day-to-day activities. The doctor may go for wide excision or minimal excision depending on the cyst’s size, location, and severity.
How is Cyst Excision performed: Before, During and After.
Before surgery
The doctor will conduct a physical examination and take the patient’s medical history to understand his overall health better. The doctor may order an ultrasound, CT, or MRI scan to get a detailed image of the cyst for further examination. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, the doctor will explain the benefits and risks of the procedure. The patient is advised to wash the affected area and not to shave the affected area the day before the surgery. The patient is required to stop taking medications if any after consulting the doctor.Â
During surgery
The doctor administers local anaesthesia on the affected area and cleans it before surgery. A small incision is made on the area. Depending on the type and size of the cyst, the doctor drains it and removes the cyst wall. Once the procedure is completed, the doctor closes the surgery site with an antibiotic and gauze.
After surgery
Thedoctor will give a set of instructions that must be followed to avoid infection and proper care of the wound. Eating light food, changing bandages according to instructions, and staying away from strenuous physical activities for a few days will help in proper recovery.
