We present the results of a modified minimally invasive surgical technique in the management of ganglia of the wrist. Twenty six ganglia have been treated by this method. The patient satisfaction for the procedure was 92.3%. An average of 2 days were lost off work consequent to the procedure. The use of this technique has resulted in a 77.9% mean resolution in size with 50% of the patients showing complete resolution. There were no recurrences noted in the 2 year follow-up.
