Bartholin Cysts Surgery – Unilateral – Expert Surgeon at Ayushman Hospital
A Bartholin cyst is the result of blockage of a Bartholin gland located at the sides of the vaginal opening, leading to fluid collection. While smaller cysts are asymptomatic, larger cysts can be painful, uncomfortable, and even infected, which can lead to an absence. Surgical excision (removal) of a cyst is indicated with recurrences or significant issues. Under the leadership of Dr. Anju Kumar, our experienced gynecologists provide safe and effective unilateral Bartholin cyst excision (surgery) so that patient discomfort is relieved, and recurrence is prevented. At Ayushman Hospital, we take special care for patient’s safety and effectiveness of the procedure.
When is the Excision of Bartholin Cyst Needed?
- Bartholin cyst excision is indicated in the following cases.
- Cyst is large, painful, and interferes with sitting or walking.
- There is a history of recurrent cysts requiring drainage or catheterization.
- There is recurrent infection of the cyst leading to abscess.
- Suspicious abnormal tissue growth in the cyst which requires biopsy.
How is the Excision of Bartholin Cyst Done?
The surgery to remove a Bartholin cyst can be done unilaterally, which means it can be performed on one side only. It is an uncomplicated procedure that can be carried out under local anesthesia as well as general an aesthesia. The following are the stages involved in the surgery:
- Preoperative Assessment – The history regarding the cyst, its size, its location, and its severity are gauged using other imaging and lab tests.
- Incision and Cystectomy – A small incision is made above the cyst; the gland cyst is dissected out and the cyst lining is excised.
- Suturing and Repair – If needed the area of the operation is sutured and this is done in a way that helps to minimize the recurrence.
- Aftercare – Patients are observed then discharged the same day with instructions for wound dressing and pain relief.
- Recovery – Follow up visits are done to check the healing. In case of the recurrence, the appropriate measures can be taken.
- Post Operative Care – The majority of the patients recover from a Bartholin cyst excision within 1-2 weeks. To aid in recovery:
- No vigorous physical activity or sexual activity for 2-4 weeks.
- Infected areas should remain dry and clean.
- Warm sitz baths can be administered to alleviate pain and aid in healing.
- Pain and antibiotic medications should be taken as instructed by the healthcare provider.
