Fantastic!! I had posted the first one, and didn’t expect another so quickly! Too cool! And with more to come? Amazing how many people have sebaceous cysts and just never do anything about them!

I could understand if a person had no health insurance, or a high deductible. Hmm, I wonder if some HMO’s consider sebaceous cyst removal “comestic surgery”. If it isn’t causing medical distress, such as pressing on a nerve, or becomes abscessed, I guess the worst thing is trying to drain it once in awhile. Just something to mull over in your brain. Some people probably don’t even think about it if its smaller and on their back.

Anyways – Awesome posting! Thanks!

Sorry guys I for one was not impressed.I got excited at the pus in the beginning only to be let down by very little gunk and blood.He didn’t open the pocket or really squeeze anything so I feel left high and dry.*sigh*..(single tear running down cheek)lol.

lol momma ur so rite! this site has forever spoiled us for pus action!

That had the potential to be a really cool video, but the “surgeon” (and I am using that term very loosely) blew it. He had a good cyst and all the right tools to make it good but didn’t know how to use them. The incision wasn’t deep enough, he was afraid to put the forceps in far enough to have them do anything and then he stitched it up? Practice suturing technique on pieces of meat like everyone else, not on your friend. My vote? It could have been a contender!
p.s.- thank you to the poster for finding it.

Like my husband, whom I’ve tortured for about 28 years, before and during marriage…

I know that this sweet cute boy has his heart in the right place, but he doesn’t understand what it is that brought such enthusiasm to the previous vid. He has unfortunately edited out the money shots and left us with 5+ minutes of minor surgery. Would someone please enlighten him on the pus factor? He needs to know this if he follows through on his promise to bring us more of these videos. Bless his heart.

A little anti-climactic .. what happened to grab-and-squeeze?

I’m the “surgeon” in both videos and I can assure you, this was the best that could be done. In retrospect, perhaps the incision could have been larger lengthwise but depth has nothing to do with it. Epidermoid cysts are fairly superficial and are reachable with only minimal exploration. Sorry for the lack of sebum but I can only get what presents itself. The cyst was itself very small but my friend still wanted it removed for cosmetic reasons.

The “forceps” are actually needle drivers and yes, without true forceps (e.g. Adson pickups) it is somewhat difficult to completely remove the cyst capsule but I am fairly certain all of it was removed.

And I consider my suturing technique as pretty good so I think your critique is somewhat misplaced. I placed 3 vertical mattress sutures and instrument tied them. I am also a licensed physician, having completed 4 years of medical school and 1 year of a 4 year residency program so it’s not like I’m some guy off the street offering to cut people’s cysts out.
