    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Hand Surgery
    • Orthopedics

    Background:

    • Digital mucous cysts are benign, gelatinous cysts arising from degenerative changes in the joint.
    • These cysts can cause pain, cosmetic concerns, and nail deformities due to pressure on the nail matrix.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of multiple needlings and expression for managing digital mucous cysts.
    • To determine the cure rate and long-term outcomes of this conservative treatment modality.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of patients with digital mucous cysts underwent repeated sessions of cyst needling and manual expression of contents.
    • The number of treatment sessions and the clinical outcomes, including cyst resolution and recurrence, were documented.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Multiple needlings and expression successfully cured approximately two-thirds (66.7%) of the digital mucous cysts treated.
    • The remaining one-third of lesions were significantly reduced in size, becoming asymptomatic nodules without further complications.

    Conclusions:

    • Multiple needlings and expression represent a simple, effective, and minimally invasive treatment for digital mucous cysts.
    • This technique offers a high success rate for complete resolution and effectively manages persistent lesions, improving patient outcomes.
