Patient's question:
Is the procedure for creating an opening in a Bartholin's gland cyst good? Does it have a high recurrence rate?Doctor's answer:
Guidance: The vestibulectomy for Bartholin's gland cyst is a relatively new surgical treatment for female Bartholin's gland cysts. In the past, cyst excision was commonly performed, often with the risk of bleeding. If the cyst wall extends near the urethra, the surgical procedure becomes more difficult, or the cyst wall may not be completely removed, leading to a higher risk of recurrence. The vestibulectomy (pouch suture) has been practiced for many years and has proven to be a simple, safe method with fewer complications and a high recurrence rate. It can also preserve the function of the gland and is applicable for Bartholin's gland cysts. The surgery has a shorter duration, less bleeding, and preserves glandular function, avoiding discomfort such as vaginal dryness, making it more acceptable to patients. At the same time, women should strengthen their awareness of hygiene and self-protection to reduce the occurrence of this condition.
