Implication

Retrospective analysis shows recurrence in 27.2% of patients with ganglion cysts, indicating treatment challenges.

Key Points

  • Surgical excision of ganglion cysts had a recurrence rate of 27.2%, signaling difficulties in managing these conditions.
  • Among patients, 83.4% had ganglion cysts in the upper extremity, primarily localized in the dorsal wrist region.
  • Descriptive and longitudinal methods were employed to analyze patient records over a follow-up period of 6 months to 5 years.
  • Needle aspiration is emphasized as a means to confirm the benign nature of ganglion cysts prior to further intervention.
