How long does ganglion cyst surgery take?
Yes, but possibly not as bad as the constant pain of an inflamed ganglion cyst in a problematic location. I had a ganglion cyst excised from the dorsal region of my right wrist by an orthopedic surgeon in 2009. They kept me awake but sedated for the surgery and the surgery itself did not hurt at all. It only took about 15 minutes to complete the actual excision. I was quite uncomfortable for the first three days, but improved rapidly. I had the cyst drained twice but it always came back, so I had the surgery. At my 7 day followup appointment, I had only some stiffness and a warm feeling in the incision. By two months, I had full mobility back with some gentle stretching of the wrist, arm and fingers. I never needed the physical therapy that was offered. I would make the same decision again to have the surgery because it stopped the pain.

If a ganglion cyst is left untreated will it become very bad and serious?
I have a ganglion cyst in my wrist. Ganglion cysts are not harmful at all- the liquid inside of them is not toxic and the cyst is usually flexible enough to fit around bones and veins around them (in fact, my vein actually created a dent in the cyst because the cyst developed under the vein; however, the cyst isn't strong enough to break or even move the vein). Ganglion cysts rarely hurt and never restrict movement. Left untreated, the only thing a cyst might do is grow and shrink, which is perfectly normal. A ganglion cyst won't become serious. The only reason one might want to get rid of cyst (whether by a doctor draining or performing surgery on it) is for purely cosmetic reasons.
