Ganglion is a benign cystic formation that develops from connective and tendon tissue cells. A ganglion can be elastic, hard, or soft, arising from wrist injury or increased physical load. Most often, ganglia are localized on the dorsal and radial side of the wrist, on the hand, and less frequently in the popliteal area and the foot.
Specialists at the hand microsurgery center have extensive experience in diagnosing and treating ganglia of the hands.
Our center employs the most informative diagnostic methods to determine the nature of the neoplasm. Ganglia are diagnosed using MRI, and gangliography—an X-ray study with the introduction of a contrast agent into the cavity of the neoplasm—is performed, along with ultrasound examination.
Treatment of ganglia is conducted under local anesthesia using modern laser and endoscopic techniques, allowing for the excision of the ganglion through minimally invasive methods with the application of absorbable internal sutures. This enables the patient.
Our clinic's microsurgeons perform ganglion removal surgeries with particular care and precision, which helps avoid injury to the hand and allows the patient to return to their usual lifestyle in the shortest time possible.
