What is hygroma?

Hygroma is cystoid formation. It can be a following kind: the roundish or wrong form, an elastic, firm or soft consistence. Hygroma it is soldered by the basis to subject fabrics, a skin with hypodermic fatty tissue remain mobile, are moderately stretched. The wall of cyst consists from dense, sometimes multilayered, connecting fabrics. The basis ganglia is in the form of a wide crura is densely connected to a capsule of a joint or synovial sinew cover (tendinous ganglion).

Contents – is a jellylike type, in old gangliaх is dense-yellowish colour. At external survey ganglion it is necessary to distinguish from others tumor-like formations (atheroma, lipoma, fibroma). Ganglion is the painless and not inclined to malignant regeneration, as a rule. However there are such localisations which hurt and limit movements.
More often hygroma it is localised in the field of a popliteal pole (Bekker’s cyst), wrist joint and a brush.

Treatment ganglia.

Applied it crushing by massage or mechanical crush, a puncture, suction contents with introduction of iodine, enzymes, hormones, long drainage counting on scarring, and also opening and layered with two-three seams through all layers.
However, according to all experts, these methods in 80-90% of cases give relapses.
Most effectively operative treatment consists in full excision of ganglia.
Operation can be carried out is out-patient under local anaesthesia and occupies about 20-30 minutes.
At the big sizes and difficult localisation operation is spent under a narcosis.
Minimum trauma fabrics during operation, use of modern technics, imposing of cosmetic internal seams - all it allows to return to a usual way of life to the minimum terms.
