What is Removal of Keratinous and Pilar Cysts With the Punch Incision Technique: Analysis of Surgical Outcomes about?
## Background: The removal of keratinous and pilar cysts by the punch incision technique is an alternative to traditional excision methods. it is easy to perform with commonly available instruments, and quick. faster healing and less scarring are advantages because of the small opening through which the cysts are removed. no previous studies have documented recurrence rates of cysts removed by this technique or the recurrence rates following either traditional excision surgery or other alternative minimal excision techniques. we provide data demonstrating that the removal of keratinous and pilar cysts by the punch incision technique is a viable option with an acceptably low recurrence rate. ## Objective: To evaluate the overall recurrence rates of keratinous and pilar cysts removed by the punch incision technique and rates of recurrence by location and using other cyst characteristics. ## Methods: A preliminary retrospective chart review of cysts removed exclusively by the punch incision technique from 1989 to 1998 was performed. the rate of cyst recurrence and average time to patient-initiated follow-up visit for evaluation and removal were determined. in a second study, a survey
