Jaw Cyst Surgery
The amount of time spent in the hospital for a jaw cyst surgery will depend on several factors, such as the type and complexity of the cyst, as well as the patient's overall health. In general, patients can expect to spend one or two days in the hospital after the procedure.
Cyst is a fluid-filled sac or cavity that can appear in various parts of the body, including the jaw. Jaw cysts are usually benign and do not spread to other parts of the body. However, they can cause discomfort and pain if they become large enough.
Surgery is the removal of the cyst through an incision in the jaw. During the procedure, the surgeon will make an incision in the skin and cut out the cyst, along with any surrounding tissue that may be affected.
Recovery usually begins immediately after the surgery and can take several weeks or even months for the patient to fully heal. During this time, the patient may need to take medication to reduce pain and swelling, and follow a special diet to promote healing. During the recovery period, it is important for the patient to get plenty of rest and avoid strenuous activities.
