“…In other trials, the recurrence rate for dorsal ganglia removed surgically was less than 5% of the cases and 7% in the volar wrist ganglion. 15,16 While the patients undergoing up to three times aspiration showed only a 15% recurrence rate, according to another study. 17 According that study, with each succeeding aspiration, more failure was recorded, and other authors also confirmed this fact, who revealed no benefit of repeat aspiration.…”

Objective: To compare the frequency of recurrence after surgical excision versus aspiration and injection of Steroids of wrist ganglion Study Design: Comparative cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Department of General Surgery at Combined Military Hospital, Kohat Pakistan, from Sep 2018 to Aug 2019. Methodology: Seventy patients reported to the Outpatient Department, Combined Military Hospital, Kohat Pakistan, with complaints of ganglion and wanted treatment. Patients were randomly allocated into two Study Groups 1 and 2, by lottery method. Group-1 was treated by aspiration of the cyst contents followed by Steroid injection, while Group-2 was by excisionof the ganglion surgically under a local anaesthetic agent. The patient was followed up after three months to look for recurrence in both groups. Results: The frequency of recurrence was 34.29% in Group-1 and 5.71% in Group-2, (p-value was less than 0.001). Conclusion: Surgical excision results in lesser recurrence when compared with simple aspiration and Steroid injection for ganglion of the wrist.
