Abstract
This randomized prospective study assessed whether multiple puncture of the ganglion wall improves the results of simple ganglion aspiration. We found that 32% of ganglia resolved after aspiration alone in comparison with 22% after aspiration and multiple puncture. This difference was not significant. However, only 18% of patients requested formal surgical excision, suggesting that aspiration allays fears of malignancy and allows the patient to accept a minor cosmetic embarrassment.
