Private ganglion cyst aspiration procedure costs and locations

What is a ganglion cyst aspiration procedure?

Ganglion cyst aspiration is a minimally invasive procedure where a specialist numbs the area with a local anaesthetic and inserts a needle into the cyst. The cyst is then drained of the thick, jelly-like synovial fluid which immediately flattens the lump and relieves pressure.

Why is it performed?

Ganglion cyst aspiration is performed to relieve pain, restore joint mobility, remove pressure on surrounding nerves, and – in some cases – confirm a diagnosis.

What the procedure involves

Ganglion cyst aspiration is a minimally invasive procedure used to drain fluid from a ganglion cyst. Your specialist will explain what to expect before your appointment and provide guidance on any aftercare and recovery.
