kystektomia

Kystektomia is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of a cyst. Cysts are abnormal, closed sacs within the body that can contain fluid, semi-solid material, or gas. They can develop in various parts of the body, including skin, organs, and bones. The decision to perform a kystektomia is typically based on the cyst's size, location, symptoms, and whether it is suspected to be benign or malignant.

The procedure for kystektomia varies depending on the cyst's location and complexity. In many cases, it can be performed under local anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. For larger or deeper cysts, or those in sensitive areas, general anesthesia and a more involved surgical approach may be necessary. The surgeon makes an incision, carefully dissects the cyst from surrounding tissues, and removes it entirely. Ensuring complete removal is important to prevent recurrence. After removal, the incision is closed with sutures or surgical tape.

Post-operative care for kystektomia usually involves keeping the wound clean and dry, managing pain with medication, and following any specific instructions from the surgeon regarding activity levels. Most patients recover fully within a few weeks. If the cyst is removed for diagnostic purposes, it may be sent to a laboratory for examination to determine its nature. Potential complications, though generally rare, can include infection, bleeding, or scarring at the surgical site.
