- Dr. Mark Vaughan drains a ganglion cyst on a foot on Periscope. You can follow @doctorvaughan on Twitter and Periscope. This uses vertical video because that is the native format for Periscope. This video was made for primarily for Periscope and only put on RUclips as an archive copy of the original Periscope session.
I have a wonderful primary care and she's very personable - but her bedside manner can't hold a candle to yours! It's refreshing to see a doctor who SHOWS that he really cares! God bless you, Doctor!
so glad to hear that you went through this ,and treated the patient with the smallest needle and lots of care,well done.pi
Thank you. Patient comfort is everything. Not only does it help the patient, but it makes the procedure easier on ME also. It affects me when others don't feel well.
I love to watch your videos. You are a gentleman with great bed side manners!
+Jeanette Richardson thank you
wow never seen anything like that before, fantastic, thank you
Thanks for putting this on. My three sons and I watched it--one of them has a cyst.
I had one of these badboys removed from my hand years ago. I had broken my finger and needed a pin put in so they did both surgeries at the same time! I always wondered what it looked like inside :) great video!
my grand daughters has one of these on her wrist. my daughter was told to ignore it so long as it doesn't hurt. it is tender at times. would removing it not just draining it keep it from coming back. and once u have this kind of cyst is a person prone to keep getting them. my grand child is 12 yrs old. and has had it for several yrs now
+Angie murphy I am not easily finding data from studies comparing the effectiveness of traumatic rupture vs. aspiration vs. surgical excision. All three are known to be associated with local recurrence of the cyst. Without objective evidence that the surgical removal is more effective I recommend aspiration. Traumatic rupture has been associate with additional injury when it has been used (smashing with a large book).
It's unfortunate that he won't have it removed by a specialist and instead keeps putting himself through the draining process. Interesting video, in any case. I've never seen a ganglion cyst aspirated. Thank you!
even if he had it surgically removed by a specialist its likely to reoccur again in the future.
Ashley Martin THe recurrence rate is very close. Removal vs aspiration vs traumatic all have about the same response.
I have ganglion cysts in both of my wrists and sometimes they are so incredibly painful. I have bumped them on door handles and had them burst on me. Never external but I can feel the fluid slowly moving through the tissue down my arm. Nauseating at the least. I first discovered them after my freshman year of high school. 14 years of these and they are still more painful then I expect some days.
hes a great doctor
+Lisa Knox You are too kind.
This guy is tough. Having the ganglion on my wrist aspirated is the single most painful thing I've ever had done (and it was so deep in my wrist they couldn't get to it and it was unsuccessful). The anaesthetic was excruciatingly painful and the doctor didn't even care. They said it hurts more for younger people. I would elect to have the surgery 10x over than go through the pain of the aesthetic again
Jenni on your wrist? Do you have a low pain tolerance. Doctors tend not to ask that before a procedure. I think it helps to let them know what is tolerable for you and if that's low, medium, or high.
That's great! You did better by hand!!
Thank you Dr..
+Angie murphy You are very welcome. Thank you for participating in the conversation. Please be sure to subscribe to the channel if you have not already done that. Please share with family and friends who would appreciate it.
Good job Dr
Wow! A Dr who cares! How rare is that?
Very cool. Thanks!
sac78008 You are welcome. You can also catch our podcast (Medically Speaking Radio) on iTunes or at medicallyspeakingradio.com.
My doc didn't numb my cyst before he stuck me and tried to drain it. I'm jealous! I ended up having to wait for the surgery, because nothing would come out.
That was intresting :)
***** I am glad you found it interesting. Reply to let me know what other types of cases you would like to see.
+Auburn Medical Group Anything drainage, I&D, bloody and gooey are all great!
I had the surgery over 20 years ago
I have one on each of my wrist.. when they swell up it's very painful because it pushes on a nerve. I had no idea what they were. Good to see they can easily be removed. I wonder why they swell up sometimes and then go back down like after two weeks or so. Happens to me monthly. Could you explain to me why that happens? Thank you for doing the video. Have a wonderful day xo
My mother had this done several years ago on her wrist, but the specialist she went to injected a steroid into it as well... said it would shrink it. Did the opposite, but formed a 'head' where he put the needle in. She let me poke it with a pin & we drained it 4 or 5 times over the course of 2 weeks. Same clear jelly-like substance came out. Eventually she went to a different specialist and had it surgically removed.
I had one probably 10 years ago & popped it by applying extremely localized pressure to it until it ruptured inside... never came back. =)
what's more effective, smashing it or aspirating it? I had surgery 3 years ago to remove it and it's back. I don't want surgery again especially since it came back once, it'll do it again probably.

+Auburn Medical Group Thanks so much!
if this is a ganglion cyst as you say, cyst being the key word, does it have a sack like other cysts? and if it does and it were removed, why would it return? I'm just curious to the difference of these types of cysts compared to others that have the sacks "completely" removed. I know that is very important. And then they are less likely to recure. sorry for rambling. thanks so much for your time. 😉🤕😷😎🐬🐧🐱
This drainage is only a temporary solution, as you point out. This patient had a reason for requesting a temporary solution. It would take having a specialist operate with possible use of general anesthesia to be able to dissect the cyst from the surrounding structures under the skin. This option is offered to all patients who have an in-office drainage performed.
So, if I understand what you're saying, surgery would remove it permanently?
Well, not exactly. The recurrence rate even after surgery is anywhere from 19-28%, depending and which study you reference.
Was there any reason that you didn't inject some corticosteroids into the cyst?
Yes. Studies find no significant improvement in outcomes with corticosteroids.
Did you remove the sac wall?
we can't hear!!!
did it return
+Nicholas Harlow This was the second or third time draining this cyst. The patient did not want to wait for a specialist to excise the cyst. It will likely fill up again.
thank you
it looks like corn syrup.
Looks like bonjella
