Cyst operations are the surgical removal of cysts that form in the mouth or in the surrounding bone tissue. Cysts are fluid-filled sacs that are usually caused by infections, trauma or other causes. Cysts in the mouth can form in the gums or jawbone and can put pressure on surrounding tissues or cause destruction of surrounding tissues.
Cyst operations can be performed in different ways depending on the size, location and type of cyst. However, it generally involves the following steps:
Cyst operations usually involve an examination and diagnostic process before being performed by a dentist or surgeon. During this process, the patient’s oral and jaw structure is examined in detail. Imaging tests, especially X-rays, computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), may be performed to provide more information about the size and location of the cyst and its effect on the surrounding tissues.
Based on the results of the examination and imaging, a surgical plan is created. This plan determines the most appropriate approach to remove the cyst. Depending on the size of the cyst, its location, its effect on surrounding tissues and the patient’s general health, the surgeon may remove the cyst by making an incision inside or outside the mouth. If necessary, laser or endoscopic techniques can be used to remove the cyst in addition to surgical methods.
The surgical procedure is usually performed under local or general anesthesia. The surgeon makes an incision to remove the cyst and removes the cyst, carefully separating the tissues surrounding the cyst. The cyst is removed along with the surrounding tissues that need to be removed and careful work is done to minimize tissue loss.
The removed cyst is sent to a laboratory for pathologic examination. Pathologic examination provides more information about the nature of the cyst, its origin and whether it is potentially cancerous. This is important to guide the treatment plan and can help reduce the risk of the cyst forming again.
The post-operative recovery process varies depending on the size of the cyst, the complexity of the surgical procedure and the patient’s general state of health. The recovery period usually ranges from a few days to several weeks. During the healing process, symptoms such as pain, swelling, bleeding and risk of infection may occur. Following the doctor’s instructions, you can use painkillers to relieve pain, care for the wound and take precautions to prevent infection.
Cyst operations are important to reduce the risk of cyst reoccurrence and prevent damage to surrounding tissues. Regular follow-up after treatment and regular check-ups with the dentist are important. This is necessary to monitor the healing process and detect any complications in time.
