Abstract

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to report a case of Ganglion removed by surgical method at the Korean Medicine Department. Methods : A 39-year-old male with a recurrent ganglion cyst below the right tibial tuberosity underwent complete surgical excision after previous treatments failed. The procedure included local anesthesia with Bufonis Venenum pharmacopuncture solution, CO2 laser incision, irrigation with soyeom pharmacopuncture solution, and suture. Intaking 3 days of Yeonkyopaedok-san and wound management with herbal ointment was carried out for postoperative care. Results : The cyst was completely excised, including the cyst wall, without any complications or recurrence observed during the three-month follow-up. Postoperative ultrasonography confirmed the absence of the ganglion cyst, with no significant surgical side effects apart from mild skin pigmentation. Conclusions : Ganglion were surgically removed without any complications by using pharmacopuncture and oral herbal medicines that have anti-inflammatory effects. The successful management of this case supports the potential expansion of surgical procedures for various diseases in Korean medicine.
