Özet
Aim: Our study aimed at comparing the results of surgical treatment and additional cortisone application to ganglion cysts aspiration formed on the wrist, and to evaluate the reasons that lead patients to treatment. Material and Methods: Patients who applied to our clinic between 2012 and 2019 were diagnosed with ganglion cysts were divided into two groups. Group A consisted of 91 patients who underwent surgical excision, and Group B consisted of 33 patients who underwent cyst aspiration with 1 ml of betamethasone administration. A total of 124 patients were evaluated regarding the cyst side, age, gender, complications after treatment modalities, preoperative and postoperative pain, and function scores. Discussion: Pain was the leading complaint in 63 (50.8%) patients in our study. Considering the current literature, the most common complaint among symptomatic patients is pain. Also, the cyst size of the group that chose surgical treatment was larger than in the group that underwent aspiration with injection. Results: In our study, it was observed that wrist ganglion cysts were more common in women than in men, they were more common on the dorsal side than on the volar side, and the first reason for choosing surgical treatment was cosmetic concerns and suspicion of the tumoral lesion after pain occurrence. The incidence of recurrence was 11.5 times higher in the patient group treated with aspiration and betamethasone injection compared to the patient group treated with surgical treatment.
