Scarless Bartholinite cyst excision

Overview :

The Bartholin’s cyst are the fluid-filled sac which automatically develops inside the opening of the vagina. These cysts are generally benign and usually feels like small painless lumps, which are soft when they are touched. These are formed around the area of Bartholin’s glands. The Bartholin’s glands are a pair of small-sized racemose glands present in the right and left side of the opening of the vagina. Bartholin’s glands help secrete mucus for the lubrication of the vagina. The fluid secreted by these glands slightly moisten the opening of the vagina to make contact with this area more comfortable.

Treatment :

Marsupialization is a surgery used to treat Bartholin cysts. Your Bartholin glands are two small glands located on both sides of your labia (vaginal lips) near the opening of your vagina. They secrete fluid that helps lubricate your vagina. Bartholin cysts form when a blockage occurs at the opening of one of these glands, causing fluid to build up and form a lump.

With marsupialization, your provider cuts a slit into a Bartholin cyst, allowing it to drain. Then, they suture the edges of the cyst to the surrounding tissue to form a tiny pouch. The pouch allows the fluid from your Bartholin gland to drain freely.
