Facial cyst surgery

The structure of the face is very complex, and the skin on the face is very fragile. If you are not careful, cysts will form. Cysts are caused by the accumulation of liquid or thick substances to form solids, and pressing hard will be accompanied by pain. It must be treated in time to avoid clogging pores or cells. You can choose to have surgery to remove facial cysts. The risk of surgery is not very high, so you can rest assured.

A cyst is a cystic skin lesion that contains fluid or viscous material and cellular components. The cyst generally has a complete cyst wall, is located in the dermis or deeper, may be raised above the skin surface or just palpable, is round or oval in appearance, feels cystic to the touch, and varies in size. Common epidermoid cysts, sebaceous cysts and pilonidal cysts. Epidermoid cysts are adhered to the skin, are movable, and are prone to secondary infection and rupture. Those infected should first receive anti-infection treatment, and then undergo surgery after the inflammation subsides. For those who are not infected, complete surgical removal is required, otherwise recurrence is likely.

Anesthesia and preoperative preparation

1. Anesthesia method

Local anesthesia.

2. Preoperative Preparation

(1) Prepare the skin before surgery, clean the local skin, and shave the hair if necessary.

(2) If there is infection, antibiotics should be used to control the infection.

(3) Routine blood test and coagulation time examination.

Indications

1. Those whose appearance is affected by cysts.

2. The cyst is repeatedly infected and the infection is controlled.

General steps of surgery

1. Design a fusiform incision based on the site of adhesion between the cyst and the skin.

2. Cut the skin and subcutaneous tissue along the marked line.

3. Bluntly separate the cyst wall under the skin, and continue to separate along the outside of the cyst wall, removing the cyst and the skin adhered to its surface together.

4. Clean the wound, rinse and stop bleeding.

5. Use fine needles and fine threads to suture the subcutaneous tissue and skin in layers.

6. Cover the wound with sterile gauze after surgery.

Precautions

1. Carefully peel off the cyst wall and remove it completely. If the cyst wall remains, recurrence may occur after surgery.

2. If the cyst is found to be infected during the operation, it does not need to be sutured. Instead, gauze strips can be placed for drainage and the dressing can be changed.

3. If the cyst wall accidentally ruptures during the operation, the rupture should be clamped, the outflow should be wiped clean, and the operation should continue.
