Treatment modalities for cysts have evoked the greatest debates and controversies because of the size, localization, pathological formation and recurrence potential of cysts. Enucleation has been most effective and reliable method to treat cysts. It completely removes the cystic capsule, thus reducing the possibility of recurrence. Certain modifications to the method of enucleation have been proposed for ease of removal and to assure complete enucleation.
