Treatment of Bartholin's cyst and abscess: excision versus silver nitrate insertion.
In a prospective randomized study, intracavitary silver nitrate (AgNO3) stick insertion (n = 25) was compared to the conventional excision technique (n = 25) for Bartholin's cyst or abscess. Two groups were similar with regard to age, previous Bartholin's cyst/abscess and size of the cyst. Operation and healing time was significantly shorter in the AgNO3 group (P < 0.001, P < 0.001, respectively). Chemical burning in the vulva was observed in one patient in the AgNO3 group, whereas hematoma on the operation site occurred in two patients in the excision group. Scar formation was found in two patients in whom excision was performed. Patients were followed for a period of 2 years and recurrence was not found in any of the cases in both groups. We conclude that, AgNO3 insertion treatment for Bartholin's cyst and abscess is as effective as excision and is associated with fewer complications. Because it is simple and inexpensive, it is an attractive alternative treatment modality for this common gynecological disease.
