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.

“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 […]

“When it comes to my feet, I was hesitant about seeing any Doctor. But a friend recommended Dr. Binh Nguyen at Advance Podiatry. I should tell you that not one time, I felt any sort of pain. All my concerns regarding my diabetic problems were addressed and I left there feeling very much relieved. From […]

“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 Leo was fantastic in helping my daughter who had 2 ingrown toenails. She is a student at FSU and had to get back to Tallahassee on a Monday, by late afternoon, and was in serious pain for the past few months with an unsuccessful surgery up at FSU. The office staff was friendly, fun […]
