Is it possible to remove a small cyst sac without surgery'?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no.: Depending on it's location and nature, it may be possible to drain a cyst without surgery. However that is not usually curative, and it may reaccumulate fluid quickly and still need to be removed surgically. You should talk with your physician about what options you may have.
