Cyst surgery involves the surgical removal of cysts formed in the mouth, teeth, or jaw areas. This procedure is performed to treat cysts that develop due to various reasons before they can cause damage to surrounding tissues or lead to more significant problems.

Diagnosis and Planning

• Evaluation: The patient's complaints and medical history are assessed.
• Imaging: Imaging techniques such as X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs are used to determine the size, location, and type of the cyst.
• Biopsy: A biopsy may be performed to determine if the cyst is benign or malignant.

Surgical Procedure

• Anesthesia: The operation is performed under local or general anesthesia.
• Removal: The surgeon carefully separates and removes the cyst from the surrounding tissues.
• Bone Removal: In some cases, a portion of the bone around the cyst may also be removed.
• Sterile Techniques: Sterile techniques are used during the operation to minimize the risk of infection.

Postoperative Care and Recovery

• Medications: Pain relievers and antibiotics may be prescribed after the operation.
• Healing Process: Swelling, pain, or discomfort may be normal during the recovery period and typically decrease within a few days.
• Oral Hygiene: It is important for the patient to maintain good oral hygiene and protect the surgical area.
• Follow-Up: Regular check-ups are conducted to monitor the healing process and check for any complications.

Cyst surgeries are crucial for maintaining oral health and preventing more serious complications. Early diagnosis and treatment play a critical role in ensuring a successful recovery process.
