Your Treatment Options for Mass Removal

At Synergy Health Partners, we offer both non-surgical monitoring and advanced surgical removal techniques. Our board-certified hand surgeons work with you to determine the best approach based on your mass characteristics, symptoms, and lifestyle needs.
  • Board-certified hand and upper extremity specialists
  • Advanced diagnostic imaging and biopsy capabilities
  • Minimally invasive surgical techniques when appropriate
  • Comprehensive pathology analysis for accurate diagnosis

Non-Surgical Treatments

Start With the Least-Invasive Options

Most patients improve without surgery. Our team takes a conservative-first approach with treatments designed to reduce pain, improve strength, and prevent future flare-ups.

Non-Surgical Hand & Wrist Treatments

  • Observation and Monitoring For small, asymptomatic masses that appear benign, we may recommend careful monitoring with regular examinations. This approach allows us to track any changes while avoiding unnecessary surgery.
    • Regular clinical examinations
    • Serial imaging when indicated
  • Activity Modification Temporary adjustments to daily activities can help reduce symptoms and prevent irritation of the mass. Our occupational therapists provide guidance on ergonomic modifications and adaptive techniques.
    • Ergonomic workplace adjustments
    • Protective splinting or padding
  • Anti-inflammatory Treatment For masses causing inflammation or discomfort, oral anti-inflammatory medications or topical treatments may provide symptom relief while you consider surgical options.
    • Oral NSAIDs for pain management
    • Topical anti-inflammatory preparations
  • Diagnostic Biopsy When the nature of a mass is uncertain, a needle biopsy or small tissue sample can provide crucial diagnostic information without requiring complete surgical removal.
    • Fine needle aspiration
    • Core needle biopsy

Many patients find peace of mind through careful evaluation and monitoring, with about 30% of benign masses requiring no immediate surgical intervention.

Surgical Hand & Wrist Procedures

  • Excisional Biopsy Complete removal of smaller masses while obtaining tissue for pathological analysis. This outpatient procedure provides both treatment and definitive diagnosis in a single step.
  • Wide Local Excision For larger or concerning masses, we remove the growth along with a margin of healthy tissue to ensure complete removal and reduce recurrence risk.
  • Tumor Resection with Reconstruction Complex masses requiring extensive removal may need tissue reconstruction using local flaps, grafts, or tendon transfers to restore optimal function and appearance.
  • Minimally Invasive Mass Removal Using specialized techniques and smaller incisions, we can remove many masses with reduced scarring and faster recovery times while maintaining excellent outcomes.
Star
Over 95% of our patients experience complete resolution of symptoms following surgical mass removal, with most returning to normal activities within 2-4 weeks.

What Patients Say

RW
Excellent care and concern from the time I was called into the room. He thoroughly explained my injury and what my options were. My best option was surgery which he performed 5 days later. He greeted me at the surgery center and explained the procedure that was going to take place. Surgery went well. Im on my way to a full recovery and very thankful to have crossed paths with Dr. Bohm and to have him for my care during this time. Also, the entire staff from my initial checkin to scheduling to follow-up care were all courteous, professional, and on point. Such a well organized team.

I was treated for my broken wrist in a very timely manner. I was able to see Dr. Bohm the same day I injured it. I was able to have surgery within three days of seeing Dr. Bohm. The front desk, staff, nurses treated me very well. I am on my way to almost full use of my arm. I am having physical therapy here too, which is really helping me regain strength in my arm.
