Comandarea acestui serviciu anulează reducerea.*
The aspiration puncture of a synovial cyst is a medical procedure used to evaluate and treat synovial cysts, which are fluid-filled swellings that typically form near joints or tendons, especially in the knee, wrist, or shoulder.
Indications:
- Relief of symptoms such as pain or discomfort
- Reduction of the cyst’s volume to improve mobility
- Collection of fluid for laboratory analysis, in order to determine its nature (e.g., whether it is infectious or not)
Procedure:
- Preliminary consultation:
- The doctor will evaluate the cyst through a physical examination and possibly imaging (ultrasound) to determine its size and location.
- Patient preparation:
- The affected area will be cleaned and disinfected.
- Local anesthesia may be administered to minimize discomfort.
- Execution of the procedure:
- The doctor will use a thin needle—possibly guided by ultrasound—to aspirate the fluid from the cyst.
- Once the fluid is extracted, the doctor may choose to inject a corticosteroid to reduce inflammation and prevent recurrence.
- Post-procedure care:
- The patient may return home immediately after the procedure.
- It is recommended to avoid intense physical activity for several days.
Risks and Complications:
- Bleeding at the puncture site
- Infection
- Adverse reaction to anesthesia
- Possibility of cyst recurrence
Conclusion:
The aspiration puncture of a synovial cyst is a relatively simple and effective intervention that can provide relief to patients. It is important to discuss with your doctor the benefits and risks of the procedure, as well as post-intervention expectations.
