If persons are not in pain, they should simply be reassured that the lump is not cancerous, and wait for the lump to disappear on its own. At least 33% resolve without treatment within six years, and 50% within 10 years. Surgical treatments remain the primary elective option for treatment of<unk> s. The progression of ganglion surgery worldwide is to use an arthroscopic or miniopening method. Alternatively, a hypodermic needle may be used to drain the fluid from the cyst (via aspiration) and a corticosteroid may be injected after the cyst is empty; however, if the fluid has thickened, owing to the passage of time, this treatment is not always effective. The recurrence rate is about 50% following needle drainage (via aspiration) of<unk> s. A historical method of treatment for a<unk>  was to strike the lump with a large and heavy book, causing the cyst to rupture and drain into the surrounding tissues. Historically, a Bible was the largest or only book in any given household, and was employed for this treatment. This led to the nickname of "Bible bumps" or "Gideon's disease" for these cysts. This treatment risks injuring the person and thus is not recommended. Complications Complications of treatment may include joint stiffness and scar formation. Recurrence of the lesion is more common following excision of a volar<unk>  in the wrist. Incomplete excision that fails to include the stalk or pedicle also may lead to recurrence, as will failing to execute a layered closure of the incision.
