	What is the normal healing after a cyst is removed from your wrist? My job is typing and I just want to schedule the right amount of time off for this procedure.

	Answer by Dr.Bhumika Aggarwal (doctor) on Wed 18, Jun 2008 12:27pm: Hi, 'If a ganglion cyst is symptomatic, it can be managed by aspiration or excision. Aspiration of the cyst is the simpler of the two procedures, but cysts recur in approximately 50% of cases. With surgery, the recurrence rate is reduced to only 5 to 10% if it is fully taken out, and complications rarely develop. Recurrence rates are lower when the hand or finger is immobilized for 1 to 2 weeks. Arthroscopy of the wrist is becoming available as an alternative to open excision of ganglion cysts. During arthroscopy, the origin of the cyst can be seen. No immobilization is needed after arthroscopy.'
