“…Volar ganglia may also cause paraesthesia from compression of the ulnar or median nerves or their branches. 9,19 Patients seek treatment when these ganglions become associated with pain, weakness, interference with activities, and an increase in size. 9 The cause of pain is unknown but, in the case of dorsal ganglia, it has been postulated to be from compression of the terminal branches of the posterior interosseus nerve.…”

“…19 In a study of 55 patients who underwent arthroscopic resection for dorsal wrist ganglion cysts, Edwards and Johansen found that patients had a significant increase in function and a significant decrease in pain within 6 weeks after the procedure. 39 At 2 years after surgery, all patients had wrist motion that was within 5 of preoperative motion; there were no recurrences.…”

Ganglion Arthroscopy AspirationGanglion cyst a b s t r a c t Ganglion cyst is the most common soft tissue tumour of hand. Sixty to seventy percent of ganglion cysts are found in the dorsal aspect of the wrist. They may affect any age group; however they are more common in the twenties to forties. Its origin and pathogenesis remains enigmatic. Non-surgical treatment is unreliable with a high recurrence rates.Open surgical excision leads to unsightly scar and poor outcome. Arthroscopy excision has shown very promising result with very low recurrence rate. We reviewed the current literature available on dorsal wrist ganglion.

“…Recurrence rate after hyaluronidase sclerotherapy is reported to be approximately 25 % [9]. Triamcinolone, when injected in the cyst cavity, lies in close contact with mucin-secreting mesenchymal cells of the cyst lining, arresting the secretion of gelatinous fluid into the cavity [10].…”

Ganglion cysts are tense,smooth,fluctuant,cystic and transilluminant swellings. They are commonly found on the dorsum of the wrist, at the scapholunate articulation and may involve volar wrist, tendon sheaths and even inter phalangeal joints. This study aims to compare the efficacy and the recurrence rates with triamcinolone, hyaluronidase and sodium tetradecyl sulphate,using the single dart technique. This prospective observational study was conducted on patients who presented to the general surgery outpatient department of our institute with ganglion cysts of wrist between January 2010 and August 2011 (20 months). A total of 180 patients were included in this study. The difference in the recurrence rates after sclerotherapy for ganglion cysts is statistically not significant between triamcinolone and hyaluronidase regimens as Z (P1-P2)01.70, p>0.05 but the difference in the recurrence rates after sclerotherapy for ganglion cysts is statistically significant between triamcinolone and sodium tetradecyl sulphate regimens as Z (P1-P2)03.34, p<0.05 . Chi-square value −10.33 (2°of freedom), p00.00571987 (significant at 5 % level). Intralesional injection of triamcinolone by single dart technique, therefore, may be considered as a simple, safe, cost effective, convenient, less invasive alternative to surgical excision of wrist ganglion cysts.

BACKGROUND: Ganglia are the most common benign soft tissue tumours of the hand. Although benign, a significant number of patients with wrist ganglia consult with their general practitioners, and ultimately the hand surgeon, complaining of pain. A great number of patients are concerned about the cosmetic appearance, and an equally significant number genuinely believe that the ganglion is a cancer. There are several management options resulting in varying degrees of success. These include observation only, surgical excision, aspiration only, aspiration with injection of methylprednisolone, and aspiration with injection of methylprednisolone and hyaluronidase. OBJECTIVE: The main objective was to investigate the effectiveness and safety of sodium tetradecyl sulfate as a sclerosing agent after aspiration of wrist ganglia. METHODS: Initial data were collected prospectively during a period of 48 months. Following this, patients were sent a postal survey at least two years after they had received treatment to access the levels of recurrence and persistent complications. RESULTS: In the short term, 90% of the patients achieved complete resolution after one episode of aspiration and injection. However, there was only a 65% cure rate after two to five years. Complications were few and not significant. CONCLUSION: Sodium tetradecyl sulfate is an effective sclerosing agent after aspiration of wrist ganglia with an excellent short-term efficacy and a long-term cure rate comparable to that of surgical excision.
