I 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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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 face is asymmetrical and I'm not sure which specialist to see about this. I have some unusual issues with it and I'm wondering if surgery is the only way to fix the alignment. Who should I consult for this kind of problem?
For facial asymmetry, consult a plastic surgeon or a maxillofacial surgeon. These specialists can assess the cause of your asymmetry and recommend the best treatment option, which may include surgery. Orthodontists and oral surgeons can also play a role in treating asymmetry, especially when it's related to teeth or jaw alignment.
