Cyst Excision
Cyst excision is a minor surgical procedure used to completely remove benign cysts, such as epidermoid or sebaceous cysts, from the skin. The procedure involves making a small incision over the cyst, carefully removing the sac and its contents, and closing the wound with sutures. Proper excision prevents recurrence and ensures minimal scarring. Cyst excision is a safe, effective, and commonly performed dermatosurgical procedure that provides both therapeutic and cosmetic benefits.

- A small incision is made over the cyst to access it.
- The entire cyst sac is carefully removed to prevent recurrence.
- The wound is closed with sutures or left to heal naturally.
- Post-procedure care ensures proper healing and minimal scarring.
