It is better to choose minimally invasive surgery for popliteal cyst. 1. Minimally invasive surgery for popliteal cyst has the advantages of small trauma, low recurrence and fast postoperative recovery compared with ordinary surgery. Moreover, minimally invasive surgery can solve the problem with three to four small holes, which makes the recovery speed relatively faster, and it can solve the recurrence of popliteal cyst fundamentally to make the probability of its recurrence become low. 2. After minimally invasive surgery, the affected limbs should be kept immobilized, and more muscle functional exercises should be done to prevent the formation of deep vein thrombosis. During the recovery period, it is also necessary to observe whether there is redness, swelling, pus and other symptoms at the surgical site, and change the medicine regularly to avoid wound infection. Popliteal cysts are recommended to consult a doctor in time and choose the correct treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
