About Marsupialization of Bartholin Gland

Marsupialization of the Bartholin gland is a minor surgical procedure performed by an Obstetrician-Gynaecologist to treat a Bartholin's cyst or abscess, which are fluid-filled or infected swellings near the vaginal opening. This procedure creates a permanent, small opening by suturing the cyst wall to the surrounding skin, allowing continuous drainage and preventing recurrence. It is typically done under local or general anesthesia and is highly effective for relieving pain, swelling, and discomfort. Marsupialization is a preferred alternative to simple incision and drainage, offering a lower chance of the cyst returning. It is a common, outpatient solution that helps restore comfort and normal function.
