How Long Does Recovery After Ganglion Cyst Removal Take?
My husband had a ganglion cyst removed from his foot in June What is the normal recovery time after this surgical procedure Midway during recovery he had a reaction to the internal stitches and thus developed an infection. Does this make the recovery time longer? He still has swelling, redness and some seepage. gino

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, that reaction from stitches and development of infection will definitely delay healing and recovery.
Usual healing time after ganglion removal is 15-20 days.
Since he is got infection, he may take 40-50 days for complete healing and recovery.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.
