title: Silver nitrate for Bartholin gland cysts.
abstract: The management of Bartholin cysts by inserting a silver nitrate stick into the cyst cavity was performed in 15 patients. The cyst wall was expelled in 14 (93%) with no recurrence in a year. The only complication was the cauterization of the surrounding mucosa (20%). This technique seems to offer benefit over conventional treatment modalities.
