Most commonly patients seek treatment for cosmetic issues. There are a variety of treatment options available but very few are effective and cosmetically acceptable. Common treatment techniques have either high recurrence rates or have complications. Treatment by transfixation with linen suture under local anaesthesia on an outpatient basis is an upcoming treatment. The objective of the study is to find out the prevalence of successful outcome of transfixation techniques in treatment of dorsal wrist ganglion. Methods: This study is a descriptive cross-sectional study undertaken at a tertiary care center from November 2018 to May 2020. Ethical approval was taken from the same institution. Convenient sampling method was used. Patients presenting with dorsal wrist ganglion and consenting for the transfixation underwent the procedure. All the patients were operated under local anesthesia. Statistical analysis was done using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 24.0. Point estimate was done at 95% Confidence Interval and frequency and percentage were calculated. Results: Out of 30 cases, 29 (96.66%) have got successful outcomes with transfixation techniques. Among 30 patients, recurrences were seen in 2 (6.66%) cases. Patient satisfaction was high in 27 (90 %) cases. No complication was encountered. Conclusions: Transfixation technique had good results in terms of low recurrence rate, percentage resolution in size and high patient satisfaction.
