| Epidermal Cyst (1:1 technique) | 5,000+ | 1:1 cyst-to-incision | <2% | 10–20 min |
| Bromhidrosis (rotational curettage) | 3,000+ | 4mm incision | 0% (15-year follow-up) | 45–60 min |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Incision Ratio | 100% | 25–50% | ~33% | <20% |
| Capsule Integrity | Variable | High | High | Complete |
| Recurrence Rate | 5–10% | 2–3% | ~2% | <1% |
