Ganglion is a noncancerous cystic mass filled with clear, jellylike fluid that most commonly develops near tendons or joints, typically on the wrist or hands. Although it is usually painless, it can cause discomfort depending on its size and location.
Ganglion presents as a smooth, soft, or firmer lump on the wrist, hand, or other joints. Sometimes, a ganglion can cause pain or limit movement, especially when it is large or compresses nerves.
Although ganglion is noncancerous and often painless, it can be unsightly, especially if it is located on visible parts of the body, such as the hands or wrists. We use surgical methods to gently excise the ganglion to minimize the risk of its recurrence and leave minimal scarring.
Basic information
- Surgical treatment of ganglion is performed under local anesthesia
- After the procedure, it is necessary to keep the surgical site clean and bandaged according to the doctor's instructions
- It is recommended to limit unnecessary movement of the affected area to speed up the healing process
- In case of postoperative pain, the doctor will prescribe pain medication
- Regular check-ups and dressings as needed will be determined by the doctor
Subcutaneous fatty tumors, also known as lipomas, are benign (noncancerous) growths of fatty tissue that most commonly occur beneath the skin. They can appear anywhere on the body, but are most common on the neck, shoulders, back, and thighs.
Lipomas present as soft, movable lumps under the skin that are usually painless. Although they are mostly harmless, they can cause discomfort or aesthetic problems, especially if they are located on visible parts of the body. Lipomas can vary in size and shape, which can negatively affect patients' confidence. The aesthetic aspect is often the main reason why people decide to have them removed.
Basic information
- The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, which means minimal pain
- The actual removal takes only a few tens of minutes
- We adhere to the highest standards of sterilization
- Keep the site dry according to the doctor's instructions
- Postoperative pain is usually minimal, but you can take pain medication as directed by your doctor
- Regular wound checks and possible dressing changes according to instructions
- Most patients can return to normal activities almost immediately
Atheroma is a benign mass (cyst) that forms as a result of blockage of the excretory duct of the sebaceous gland. It is a relatively common skin disease. The result of ductal obstruction is a round, soft, subcutaneous mass of various sizes that has the ability to enlarge. It affects men and women of all ages. Atheroma is not a tumor, but a type of cyst. The disease most often occurs in those areas of the skin that have many sebaceous glands - on the face, back, scalp, anterior abdominal wall, and scrotum.
In a quiet state, the atheroma is a soft, spherical subcutaneous mass. In the inflammatory stage, thebra atheroma is a painful, reddened mass that can spontaneously burst. The patient may have a fever.
The most common treatment for atheroma is surgical treatment. Atheroma removal is performed under local anesthesia.
