Based on the facts of your query,You seems to have answer is YES,as during wrist arthroscopy,Ganglion removal is established and Standard procedure with lease recurrences after its removal,as compared with open surgical removal.

Dressing would be pressure dressing with or without wrist splint for immobilization of the joint for fast wound healing.
