✦ Overview

What is a cyst?

If you are considering cyst removal, you may have identified a firm growth under your skin that has developed over time and can become sore/tender or flared up. This is called a cyst. The majority of cysts found in this region of the body are sebaceous cysts, and while they rarely cause problems, they can become infected and/or come back if not completely removed. In order to remove a cyst properly, you should be referred for a complete excision of the cyst capsule, not just a drain. Consultant-led private cyst removal in Harrogate by Kliniken will offer you the opportunity to be treated with clearly defined options regarding your treatment and expected cyst removal costs.

✦ Our process

What is involved in cyst removal surgery?

At Kliniken we offer consultant led minor surgical procedures for private cyst removal in Harrogate under local anaesthetic.
Our priority during cyst removal is total capsule excision to help prevent recurrence of your cyst.

Consultation & examination

Your surgeon will confirm the diagnosis, discuss the treatment options and inform you of what you can expect regarding the cyst along with removal costs.

Numbing (Local anaesthesia)

We use local anaesthetic to numb the area completely so you will be awake but not feel anything at all while the procedure is carried out.

Cyst Removal

During cyst removal in Harrogate the surgeon removes both the cyst and the cyst's capsule. In the case of an infected cyst, the surgeon may also remove some of the surrounding tissue (to ensure that the infection is eradicated).

Aftercare and discharge

Following the procedure which typically lasts from 20-40 minutes, you will be discharged on the same day as the procedure and given guidelines for follow up care.

✦ After cyst removal surgery

Recovery & aftercare

Physical activity

Following cyst removal, nearly all patients are able to resume their normal (light) activities within 24-48 hours after the operation. Activities that can put strain should be avoided for 1-2 weeks post operatively depending upon the size and location of the cyst.

Caring for the wound

Your stitches are usually removed in 7-14 days unless they dissolve on their own. It is important to keep the wound clean and dry so as to promote safe recovery and prevent the development of an infection. Care instructions will be given to you prior to leaving the hospital.

Results & recurrence

Recurrence of the cyst is rare if the entire cyst capsule is removed at time of surgery. The likelihood of recurrence is lower with proper removal of the cyst versus simply draining the cyst. If desired histology examination of tissue can provide additional reassurance.

✦ Frequently asked questions

FAQ's on cyst removal in Harrogate

A cyst is an encapsulated pocket or pouch that develops beneath the surface of the skin and contains fluid (often) or keratin. According to the NHS, The majority of cysts are non-threatening and will not lead to any significant issues. However, a small number of cysts do become inflamed or develop into infections. Most information on cysts indicate that not all need any form of medical intervention unless they are producing symptoms. Therefore, it would be advisable to seek clarification through a consultation for cyst removal in Harrogate prior to deciding what course of action to pursue.

Patients frequently ask if a lump is either a cyst or a lipoma. Cysts tend to be firmer than lipomas; they can also have a small opening in the centre of them. Lipomas are generally softer and less restricted in movement beneath the skin. Your surgeon will assess the lump carefully and verify the diagnosis before recommending treatment at your consultation regarding cyst removal in Harrogate. Histology would provide additional assurance if required.

Cyst removal is generally recommended if the cyst becomes painful, is frequently infected or has grown significantly in size creating either functional or aesthetic problems. Consultant led private cyst removal allows the cyst to be completely excised rather than simply drained, thereby preventing potential complications such as infection.

Prior to cyst removal surgery, the area where the cyst is located is totally anesthetized by administering local anesthetic. While you may experience a sensation of pressure during this time, you should not experience any pain. Some mild soreness is expected immediately after cyst removal surgery and can be managed using mild pain relievers.

If the entire cyst capsule is removed, it is relatively rare for a cyst to recur. Recurrence of a cyst is more likely to occur if the cyst was only partially drained. Private cyst removal in Harrogate is focused on the proper technique of removing the entire cyst capsule to minimize the chance of the cyst recurring.

Yes, we do treat infected cysts. Depending upon your individual situation, your surgeon may recommend immediate surgical removal of the infected cyst or he/she may recommend a staged approach to ensure that you receive the best possible care.
