Ganglion cysts are smooth, fluctuant, tense cystic and transilluminant swellings commonly found at the dorsal aspect of the wrist, at the scapholunate articulation. It may involve volar aspect of wrist, tendon sheaths and even interphalangeal joints. This study compares the recurrence rates and complications between two methods of treatment widely accepted for ganglion cysts (e.g. Inj. Sclrotherapy vs Threading). This prospective observational study was conducted on patients who presented to the general surgery outpatient department of our institute with ganglion cysts of wrist. A total of 50 patients were included in the study and the study was conducted from January 2016 to June 2017.
