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.

Chemical Substances Used in the Treatment of Ganglions Located in the Hand and Wrist

The aim of this work was to compare different chemical substances used in the treatment of ganglions located in the hand and wrist region. Their basic properties and mechanisms of action have been described. Moreover, the risks associated with the use of particular substances have been highlighted and potential complications connected with their administration have been discussed. On the basis of the available literature, the results of ganglion aspiration treatment followed by an injection of a chemical substance into the cyst cavity have been assessed. In the authors' opinion, due to the existing risk of complications associated with this treatment, as well as the relatively high rate of ganglion recurrence, this procedure should only be performed by qualified medical personnel. The authors recommend observation in cases of asymptomatic ganglions of the hand and wrist, and operative treatment in cases in which pain, restriction of limb mobility and weakening of handgrip strength are observed.
