2-30. EXCISION OF BARTHOLIN DUCT CYST OR ABSCESS
a. General. This procedure consists of removing or incising and draining the cyst through the vaginal outlet. A cyst in the vulvo- vaginal gland usually follows acute infection and is treated by marsupialization when it is quiescent. Such cysts are nonneoplastic and result from retention of glandular secretions due to blockage somewhere in the duct system.
