What is the recovery time for ganglion cyst removal on wrist?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
About 2-3 weeks, but: Check with your surgeon, as he/she can give you the best estimate, depending on the size, location, site, whether its a primary or a recurrent one. Good luck.

Splinting: Surgery requires a period of splinting post operatively usually 3 weeks to avoid the possibility of recurrence.
