Description

Cyst excision is a surgical procedure performed to remove a cyst. A cyst is a sac or capsule filled with fluid, air, or other material. The surgical approach to cyst excision can vary depending on the type and location of the cyst. Here's a general overview of the cyst excision process: 1. Medical Evaluation: The process typically begins with a consultation with a healthcare professional, such as a surgeon or dermatologist. They will assess the cyst, possibly order imaging studies (such as ultrasound or MRI) to better understand the size and location, and discuss your medical history. 2. Preoperative Preparation: Before surgery, you may undergo preoperative tests, such as blood tests and imaging studies, to ensure you are in good health for the procedure. 3. Anesthesia: Cyst excision can be performed under local anesthesia (numbing only the area being operated on) or general anesthesia (where you are asleep during the surgery). The choice of anesthesia depends on factors such as the size and location of the cyst and your overall health. 4. Incision: The surgeon makes an incision over or near the cyst. The size and location of the incision depend on the type and size of the cyst. Minimally invasive techniques, such as cyst removal through a small incision or using endoscopy, may be considered for certain types of cysts. 5. Cyst Removal: The surgeon carefully removes the cyst, making sure to extract it intact if possible. The removal technique may vary based on the nature of the cyst. 6. Closure: After the cyst is removed, the incision is closed with sutures, staples, or surgical glue. The method of closure depends on the size and location of the incision.
