Puncția aspirativă a chistului sinovial ecoghidată

Ultrasound-guided aspiration of a synovial cyst is a medical procedure used to evaluate and treat synovial cysts, which are fluid-filled swellings located near joints or tendons. These cysts can cause discomfort, pain, or limited mobility, and ultrasound-guided aspiration can help relieve symptoms.

Procedure:

1. Patient preparation:
   • A preliminary evaluation will be performed to determine the need for the intervention.
   • The patient may be asked to relax the affected area.
2. The intervention:
   • Using ultrasound guidance, the physician will insert a needle into the cyst and aspirate the fluid.
   • The procedure is minimally invasive and usually does not require general anesthesia, being performed under local anesthesia.
3. Recovery:
   • The patient may return to daily activities immediately after the procedure, but it is recommended to avoid intense physical activity for a short period of time.

Benefits of the procedure:

• Relieves symptoms caused by the cysts
• Allows analysis of the fluid to rule out infections or other conditions
