Cyst excision is a minimally invasive surgical procedure requiring a small incision at or near the affected site and draining the cyst through the incision. This treatment method is selected when the cyst becomes infected, causes pain, and disrupts normal day-to-day activities. The doctor may go for wide excision or minimal excision depending on the cyst’s size, location, and severity.
