It depends on the way the puncture occurs.

If to big of a rupture is created in a cell wall, the contents of the cell will leak out and the cell will die.

However, a cell wall can reseal itself after certain insults. Neuropsychologists can insert a pipet into a single living neuron. The cell will seal itself around the pipet and the neuropsychologist can record the actual electrical impulses from within the cell.

It is also possible to use a pipet to insert genetic material into an egg cell. The cell will not only recover, but it can divide and reproduce using the new genetic material.

Why Does the surface area affects the ability to get materials in and out of the cell?

Because to get in and out you have to cross the cell's surface and if it has a bigger area more can happen than with a smaller area. To increase the surface area volume ratio, the cell can reduce in size or change its shape.
