Ganglion cysts that form along the tendons and joints in the ankle and foot sometimes must be removed by surgery if the cyst does not shrink on its own or draining the cyst is not successful. During a cyst removal, the cyst is cut from the tendon or joint and taken out. Usually, the procedure is performed on an outpatient basis with local anesthesia. Recovery time and post-surgery treatment vary based on the size and location of the cyst. Nerve, blood vessel, and/ or tendon damage can occur as a result of the surgery, but this is not common. Some cysts recur.

“Very rarely do you go to any physician and get immediate relief. I was in extreme pain yesterday and I feel 100% better today. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Bret Brennan and the support staff. I had never been there before and I felt like they were generally happy to see me […]

Dr. Brennan personally called to check on me later in the afternoon that day to fully explain […]

“Healthy Feet Podiatry has a friendly and caring office staff and Dr. Todd Brennan is GREAT. Due to my insurance, I was unable to use the same Dr. as my husband. As I didn’t like the care he was getting, that was OK. I get fast appointments and “my Doctor is on-time for them”! I […]

“I could not have asked for better care! After nearly a year and a half of nobody being able to help me with a Hemangioma in my foot, Dr Cruz stepped up to the challenge. He always listened to my concerns and addressed everything honestly–even if it wasn’t what I wanted to hear. After seeing […]

“I have been plagued by foot problems for years. I have been to several podiatrists both in Florida and in Massachusetts, and they’ve been either unwilling or unable to provide me with the information that I needed. A few days ago I came across the Healthy Feet Podiatry office address in Brooksville FL, near where […]
