Recurrence rate is higher in aspirated cysts than in excised ones.<unk> s have been found to recur following surgery in 12% to 41% of patients. A six-year outcome study of the treatment of<unk> s on the dorsal wrist compared excision, aspiration, and no treatment. Neither excision nor aspiration provided long-term benefit better than no treatment. Of the untreated<unk> s, 58% resolved spontaneously; the postsurgery recurrence rate in this study was 39%. A similar study in 2003 of<unk> s occurring on the palmar surface of the wrist states: "At 2- and 5-year follow-up, regardless of treatment, no difference in symptoms was found, regardless of whether the palmar wrist ganglion was excised, aspirated, or left alone."
