[…] Regardless of whether the ganglion is removed via open surgery or via arthroscopic excision, when a stalk is visualized, it should be completely removed, or the cyst should be removed at the origin to reduce the risk of recurrence. […] Brief splinting of 3-7 days is recommended for both open and arthroscopic ganglionectomy, but it seems that wrist motion within 3-5 days after the procedure can prevent stiffness. […] Although arthroscopic excision can be performed for radiocarpal volar ganglia, an open procedure is usually performed. […] Following mucous cyst removal, immobilization is unnecessary unless debridement harmed the extensor tendon. […] In open and arthroscopic procedures, wrist stiffness is the most common postoperative complication; however, leaving the capsule open during an open procedure tends to reduce the risk of this complication, as does early motion.

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1243454-treatment

  Because the hand and wrist are very visible in day-to-day activity, aesthetics can be an indication for treatment but may favor a less invasive intervention, whereas pain, limitation of movement, and nerve palsies are indications for surgical excision. […] When the ganglion wall is thin, in the early stages, the cyst can be manually compressed until it bursts, and fluid is absorbed; this is the least invasive treatment. A slightly more invasive approach, with a cure rate of 40%, is aspiration; cure rate is 85% when a minimum of three aspirations are performed. […] Another moderately invasive procedure is cyst puncture. Although it has a 95% cure rate, it is not widely used. In this treatment procedure, a suture is passed through the skin perpendicularly through the cyst and is left there for 3 weeks, increasing the risk of infection.

  https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/ganglion/

  Treatment for a ganglion cyst is usually only recommended if the cyst causes pain or affects the range of movement in a joint. […] The 2 main treatment options for a ganglion cyst are: draining fluid out of the cyst with a needle and syringe (aspiration) and cutting the cyst out using surgery. […] Aspiration is usually carried out in the outpatient department of your local hospital. […] Aspiration is simple and painless, and you’ll be able to leave the hospital straight after. […] It’s often the first treatment option offered for ganglion cysts as it’s less invasive than surgery. […] But around half of all ganglion cysts treated using aspiration return at some point. If a cyst does return, surgery may be necessary. […] There are 2 ways surgery can be used to remove a ganglion cyst: open surgery where the surgeon makes a medium-sized cut, usually about 5cm (2in) long, over the site of the affected joint or tendon and arthroscopy a type of keyhole surgery where smaller cuts are made and a tiny camera called an arthroscope is used by the surgeon to look inside the joint; using the arthroscope as a guide, they then pass instruments through the cut to remove the cyst. […] Both techniques are equally effective at removing the cyst and reducing the risk of it returning. […] Lasting pain or stiffness may need further treatment with physiotherapy.

  A splint or brace may be recommended by your doctor to immobilize the affected joint. When a joint is immobile, the ganglion cyst shrinks, reducing pressure on your nerves and relieving pain. […] Minor aspiration is helpful for diagnosing the cyst, and more vigorous aspiration can remove the majority of the fluid. This therapy should offer near-immediate pain relief. However, because the cyst’s structure is still present, it’s conceivable that the drained cyst will slowly fill back up with fluid. Aspiration simply empties the fluid, similar to letting the air out of a water balloon that can be refilled. […] The cyst and the stalk of tissue attaching it to the adjacent joint or tendon sheath are removed during surgery. A ganglionectomy, or ganglion excision, is a form of surgery that removes a ganglion. The surgeon will use general anesthetic, so you won’t feel or remember anything, and the operation will be performed as an outpatient procedure, so you won’t have to remain in the hospital. Surgical treatment is frequently successful and has a lower chance of cyst recurrence. Many doctors prefer to attempt less intrusive treatment options first because it is the most invasive choice.

[…] Surgical removal is another option that people seek out when the ganglion cyst becomes painful and/or unsightly. […] Prolotherapy can frequently strengthen the structures affected by the cyst enough to become symptom-free. […] Prolotherapy injections restart this immune response right at the point of injury, whether it is a ganglion cyst. […] Oftentimes if an injured joint capsule or an injured ligament causes a small or recently formed ganglion cyst, the body can reabsorb them after Prolotherapy treatment. In cases where someone has had a ganglion cyst for decades, then the cyst may remain but not be a problem anymore after Prolotherapy injections.

  Many methods have been tried in order to increase the efficacy. […] Taking into account that nearly half of the ganglion would resolve spontaneously, with such a high failure rate, nonsurgical treatment of ganglion was generally ineffective. However, the complications were considered less. Therefore, nonsurgical treatment can be considered to be an alternative way for symptomatic relief if the patients do not want surgery. […] Surgery had a lower recurrence rate than conservative treatment. However, it has higher rates of complication and longer recovery period, and the rate of symptomatic relief may not be higher than other treatments.

  A ganglion is a cyst that forms on top of a joint, ligament, or tendon. The procedure to remove a ganglion is called ganglion resection. The initial treatment of a ganglion is not surgical, but if pain becomes a problem, your foot and ankle orthopaedic surgeon may recommend aspiration, a procedure to remove the cyst’s fluid through a needle. If the cyst returns, surgery to remove the ganglion might be an option. […] If the ganglion is not causing any problems, non-surgical treatment may be preferable. Your doctor may recommend surgery if your symptoms are not relieved by non-surgical methods, or if the ganglion returns after aspiration. […] Ganglion resection typically is an outpatient procedure and patients are able to go home the same day. You can be given a local or a general anesthetic. The choice depends partly on which you prefer, and partly on what your surgeon thinks is best.

  Multiple nonsurgical modalities have been used over the years for ganglion cyst, including simple aspiration. Surgery (open or arthroscopic) often becomes necessary, and current evidence suggests that arthroscopic ganglion excision is a practical and successful means of dorsal ganglion cyst removal. […] Pharmacologic agents are under constant investigation in the medical arena. Potential advances in sclerosing agents specific to the treatment of ganglion cysts may lead to a definitive medical treatment of ganglions, which would avoid surgery. […] Rizzo et al performed a study of arthroscopic excision of dorsal wrist ganglia and found statistically significant increases in wrist extension and grip strength postoperatively, as compared to preoperative values. […] Edwards and Johansen prospectively evaluated outcomes of arthroscopic dorsal wrist ganglia resection and found that the patients experienced significant increased function and decreased pain within 6 weeks after arthroscopic resection; recurrence and complication rates appeared comparable to those of open resections.
