“…The claim that women have a higher incidence of ganglion cysts than males is supported by the results of every study, which consistently demonstrate that women have a higher prevalence of ganglion cysts. This link bolsters the idea that, as research now in publication suggests, ganglion cysts may be more frequent in women [17]. Similar to our study, preoperative discomfort was noted to be common in all patients in the study by Turgut et al However, after the procedure, this drastically declined, with only 2.7% of the patients experiencing discomfort at the 12-month check-up.…”

Background Ganglion cysts are benign soft tissue tumors that commonly occur in the joints, especially the wrist. Surgical excision and steroid injection are the two main treatment options; however, their efficacy remains unclear. Methods This prospective interventional control trial included 54 patients with ganglion cysts treated between March 2023 and March 2024 at Saveetha Medical College Hospital, Chennai. Patients were divided into two groups: Group A underwent surgical excision and Group B received aspiration followed by 40 mg of intralesional triamcinolone acetonide injection. Results The highest incidence was observed in younger patients aged 14–19 years (13 patients), with more females (57.4%) affected. The cysts were equally distributed between the left and right hands. All patients presented with swelling, and 59.3% experienced pain/discomfort. In Group A surgical excision success rate was 92.5%, with a 7.5% recurrence rate. Group B had a lower success rate (64.3%) and higher recurrence rate (35.7%) with aspiration and injection. Conclusion Surgical excision demonstrated significantly better outcomes, with higher success and lower recurrence rates than aspiration and steroid injection for the management of ganglion cysts. Therefore, this should be considered the preferred treatment option.
