A Hybrid Technique For Ganglion Management

ABSTRACT

Background- the ganglions on dorsum of the wrist is a common and recurring problem, unless dealt with properly. So, we use an easy to learn, simple OPD based hybrid method for the same. Materials and Methods- we treated 16 ganglion cysts with this method, and the follow-up was seen at 3 weeks time. Result- there was recurrence in only 1 case out of 16 (~5%), with no recurrence or any complication in the others. Thus, this hybrid technique is effective, safe procedure for management of ganglions.
