Abstract |
Bartholin gland abscesses are common problems in women and their management represents a mainstay of gynecology. Various treatment methods have been described. We present a technique performed under local anesthesia, without hospitalization or postoperative care. As part of a minimally invasive approach, this procedure promotes therapeutic de-escalation, has high patient acceptance, improves clinical outcomes and reduces costs. The procedure is highlighted through an instructive video article which standardizes the essential steps, to make the technique ergonomics and easy to perform (step-by-step explanation).
