Tumour & Ganglion Removal

The hand and wrist are common sites for both benign tumours (such as lipomas or giant cell tumours of the tendon sheath) and ganglion cysts — fluid-filled lumps that arise from joints or tendon sheaths. While most are harmless, they can cause pain, pressure, or limit movement depending on their size and location.

Surgical removal is considered when a lesion is painful, growing, interfering with function, or cosmetically concerning. Different types of tumours require varied approaches and margins, to ensure complete removal and minimise the risk of recurrence.  An in-depth knowledge of the intricate anatomy of the hand is required to ensure safe surgery, preserving critical structures such as nerves and blood vessels.
