Sometimes recurrence develops after primary treatment and secondary treatment is planned as a result.\u00a0\nObjective: The aim of this study was to perform a retrospective analysis of plastic surgery treatment approaches and patient outcomes in 1,784 patients with ganglion cysts.\u00a0\nMethod: The study type was descriptive and longitudinal. Patients were followed up from at least 6 months to 5 years after the primary ganglion cyst was treated. Data collection was retrospectively extracted from the patient records of the clinic where the study was conducted. Descriptive tests, chi-square test, and post hoc analysis were used for data analysis.\u00a0\nResults: The mean age of patients with ganglion cysts in this study was 34.49 \u00b1 8.21 years, 61% were female. 83.4% had ganglion cysts in the upper extremity and 58.9% of them were localized in the dorsal wrist. For treatment, 36.3% underwent cyst excision and 23.6% underwent cyst resection. Recurrence occurred in 27.2% of the total number of patients. None of the patients with recurrence underwent a second cyst aspiration, 33.8% underwent cyst excision.\u00a0\nConclusion: Ganglion cysts were mostly localized to the hand and wrist and needle aspiration may be preferred for diagnosis as it provides a definitive result as to whether the mass is benign or not. Recurrences after surgical excision, resection or joint arthrodesis were found in the literature.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2340\/jphs.v60.44184","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,20]],"date-time":"2025-08-20T11:45:42Z","timestamp":1755690342000},"page":"153-158","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Plastic surgery treatment approaches and results for ganglion cysts: retrospective analysis of 1,784 patients"],"prefix":"10.2340","volume":"60","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0114-0657","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Azimet","family":"Ozdemir","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7252-9478","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Semra","family":"Bulbuloglu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9017-4105","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fadime","family":"Cinar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1183","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"121851","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Rozbruch SR, Chang V, Bohne WH, et al.
