Wrist ganglia were randomly allocated for conservative treatment by either aspiration or aspiration and injection of steroid. Both treatment methods had 33% success rates. Almost all ganglia which recurred after one aspiration did not resolve with further aspirations. After aspiration and explanation of the benign nature of ganglia, only a quarter of patients requested surgical treatment.
