Yes, minimally invasive surgery is generally a good option. It usually results in faster recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring. However, final decision depends on imaging findings, symptoms, and your overall health—please consult your gynecologist.

View allI have a ganglion cyst on my right wrist and have tried allopathy, siddha, and ayurvedic treatments with no relief. One doctor recommended surgery with a plastic surgeon due to the cyst's location, but another advised against surgery there. Is there a permanent cure for ganglion cysts, and what's the success rate of surgery in this area?
While ganglion cysts can resolve on their own or with nonsurgical treatments, surgery is an option when other methods fail or cause significant problems. The success rate of ganglion cyst surgery in the wrist, especially in areas where a plastic surgeon might be involved, is generally high, with many patients experiencing relief from pain and improved function. However, recurrence is possible, and nerve or tendon injury is a rare complication

My mom has been living with neurofibromatosis type 1 for over a decade. She had plastic surgery on her face, but only a few moles could be removed the rest are too small or deep. Where should I take her for proper surgery or any other effective treatment options?
For proper management of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), especially with regard to facial neurofibromas, your mom should seek care from a multidisciplinary team, including a geneticist, dermatologist, and potentially a plastic surgeon specializing in NF1. Other treatment options may include medication and radiation therapy. A neurofibroma clinic or a hospital with a strong NF1 program would be ideal.
