Cyst operations involve the surgical removal of cysts that form within or around the bone tissue in the mouth. Cysts are fluid-filled sacs that generally develop due to infections, trauma, or other causes. Oral cysts can occur in the gums or within the jawbone, and they may put pressure on or damage surrounding tissues.
Cyst operations can be performed in different ways depending on the size, location, and type of the cyst. However, in general, they include the following steps:
Before a cyst operation is performed by a dentist or surgeon, a thorough examination and diagnostic process is carried out. During this process, the patient’s oral cavity and jaw structure are carefully evaluated. Imaging tests—such as X-rays, computed tomography (CT), or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)—may be used to obtain more information about the cyst’s size, location, and its effects on nearby tissues.
Based on the examination and imaging results, a surgical plan is developed. This plan determines the most appropriate approach for removing the cyst. Depending on the size and position of the cyst, its relationship with surrounding tissues, and the patient’s overall health, the surgeon may make an incision inside or outside the mouth to remove it. When necessary, laser or endoscopic techniques may also be used in addition to conventional surgical methods.
The surgical procedure is usually performed under local or general anesthesia. The surgeon makes an incision to access the cyst, carefully separates it from the surrounding tissues, and removes it. The cyst is extracted together with any necessary surrounding tissue, with special care taken to minimize tissue loss.
The removed cyst is sent to a pathology laboratory for examination. Pathological analysis provides more information about the cyst’s nature, origin, and whether it is potentially cancerous. This step is important for guiding further treatment and helping to reduce the risk of recurrence.
The recovery process after surgery varies depending on the size of the cyst, the complexity of the surgical procedure, and the patient’s general health. Healing usually takes from a few days to a few weeks. During recovery, symptoms such as pain, swelling, bleeding, and infection risk may occur. By following the doctor’s instructions, you can use painkillers to relieve discomfort, perform proper wound care, and take preventive measures to avoid infection.
Cyst operations are important to prevent the cyst from recurring and to avoid damage to surrounding tissues. Regular follow-up and dental check-ups after treatment are essential to monitor healing and detect any complications in time.
