Added: 2026-05-21

[00:00:00]If you develop a ganglion cyst, a doctor may remove it through a minor surgical procedure. These fluid-filled lumps are usually harmless and commonly appear near joints or tendons. The cyst is often connected to the joint by a thin tissue structure called a stalk. During the procedure, the doctor makes a small incision over the area and carefully separates the cyst from the surrounding tissue. Once the stalk is cut and the cyst is fully removed, the incision is closed to allow healing.
