10. Complications
A ganglion cyst should cause no further medical complications for the patient. However, they can have an impact on peoples’ ability to do their jobs, especially those in physical roles. There is a chance that the cyst can become infected, and this is something that should be addressed as soon as it is recognized.
Complications from surgery are also rare and even when they do arise, they are rarely serious. The wound can become infected in some cases but this is rarely a serious problem. In a small number of cases, patients can feel a degree of pain permanently after the operation. Others might experience permanent stiffness in the area.
