Yangtze River Daily Wuhan Client, October 27 (Reporter Liu Xuan, Correspondent Lu Yiting) Because she was afraid of surgery, Aunt Zhang has been dragging the small cyst behind her ear for 40 years. It was not until recently that she had a significant decline in hearing. House 6th Hospital (Jianghan University Affiliated Hospital) Sun Suguang, director of the Department of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery at Wuhan No. 6 Hospital (Jianghan University Affiliated Hospital), took only 40 minutes to clear the "thunder". "I have been doing well these two days after I got home, and I have no discomfort." Early in the morning of the 27th, Aunt Zhang, 72, posted a message on WeChat to report her recent situation to the nurse in the ward.
40 years ago, Aunt Zhang touched a small soybean-sized mass of a soybean growing behind her ears. Because it didn't hurt or itch, she didn't take it to heart. In 10 years, the mass has grown to the size of walnuts. The doctor told her that she would have surgery to remove it. Aunt Zhang, who was afraid of pain and the risk of surgery, chose to drag it. It was not until half a month ago that the cyst that had grown to the size of a duck egg pressed her ears and her hearing was significantly affected, so she went to the hospital for treatment.
Sun Suguang, director of the Department of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery of the Sixth Hospital of the City, found that Aunt Zhang's cyst compressed the cartilage of her ears, and even her wearing a mask was affected. To avoid cancer, she is advised to remove the surgery as soon as possible. When Aunt Zhang heard that she was going to have an operation, she was very nervous and immediately refused. After Sun Suguang learned about the situation, he came to her ward with an B ultra- film and patiently explained the condition and surgical plan, which dispelled Aunt Zhang's concerns.

On October 18, Sun Suguang led her team to personally perform a cyst removal surgery on her. Considering that the cyst has abundant blood supply, he deliberately inserted a knife from the middle to ensure that the contour of the external ear is not affected, and after removing the excess skin, he sutured the tissue on both sides like a "zipper". The operation ended successfully in 40 minutes.
Because their children are busy with work, only their wife takes care of her. The nurses in the ward took great care of the old couple and ordered all three meals a day and brought them over. "My wife woke up from anesthesia and felt uncomfortable in her stomach. The nurse quickly brought her bread. She was very considerate." My wife Mr. Tan talked about this hospitalization and her words were full of emotion.

Sun Suguang introduced that although cysts are benign, they cannot be taken lightly. Usually, small cysts can be followed up regularly. Large and fast-growing cysts will compress blood vessels, surrounding tissues and organs, and nerves, causing pain or abnormal function of corresponding organs. In severe cases, there is a risk of cancer. You should go to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible.
