Cyst and lipoma surgery involves the removal of benign lumps or growths that develop beneath or within the skin. These conditions are usually harmless, but removal may be considered when they cause pain, discomfort, repeated infection, increase in size or become bothersome to the patient.

What are Cysts and Lipomas?

A cyst is a sac-like structure that may contain fluid, keratin or other material, while a lipoma is a soft, usually slow-growing lump made up of fatty tissue. A clinical examination helps determine the nature of the lump and whether further evaluation or surgical removal is required.

• Evaluation of newly developed lumps and swellings
• Surgical removal of symptomatic cysts
• Removal of bothersome or enlarging lipomas
• Management of recurrent or infected cysts

When is Surgery Recommended?

Surgical removal may be recommended when a cyst or lipoma is painful, repeatedly infected, increasing in size, restricting movement or causing significant discomfort. Any new, rapidly changing or unusual lump should be properly assessed before treatment.

• Painful or tender lumps
• Recurrent or infected cysts
• Large or progressively enlarging lipomas
• Lumps causing functional or cosmetic concerns

Surgical Removal and Aftercare

Cyst and lipoma removal is planned according to the size, location and characteristics of the lesion. The aim is to safely remove the affected tissue while minimizing damage to surrounding structures. Appropriate wound care and follow-up are advised after the procedure.
