The area of the cyst should be avoided during the surgery to reduce the risk for infection.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA
Any time you have a cyst or an infection near the site of an surgery, especially, an elective surgery, in my opinion its always best to have that issue resolved before you proceed.
