Marsupialization is the surgical technique of cutting a slit into an abscess or cyst and suturing the edges of the slit to form a continuous surface from the exterior surface to the interior surface of the cyst or abscess. Sutured in this fashion, the site remains open and can drain freely.
Marsupialization which involves the surgical opening of the cyst cavity and a creation of a marsupial-like pouch. This allows the cavity to be in contact with the outside of the cyst for an extended period of time. Marsupialisation results in slow shrinkage of the cyst allowing later enucleation.
Marsupialization—the creation of a window into the wall of a cyst by raising a mucoperiosteal flap and attaching the cyst lining to the oral mucosa - allowing the contents to be drained. The window is left open, and the lack of pressure within the cyst causes the lesion to shrink, as the surrounding bone starts to fill in again.
Over time, the cyst decreases in size and bone regenerates in the cavity space. Marsupialization could also be performed, which involves suturing the edges of the gingiva surrounding the cyst to remain open. The cyst then drains its contents and heal without being prematurely closed. The end result is the same as the cystostomy, bone regeneration.
Marsupialization may also be used to treat large dentigerous cysts. This permits the decompression of the cyst, with a resulting decrease in the size of the bone defect. The cyst can then be excised at a later date, with a less extensive surgical procedure. The prognosis for the dentigerous cyst is excellent, and recurrence is rare. [21]
