title: Carbon dioxide laser treatment of Bartholin's gland cyst.
abstract: The purpose of this study is to present the results of laser surgery for Bartholin's cyst which shows to be a method that is safe, efficient, of low morbidity, and can be performed in an outpatient clinic under local anesthesia. Of the 22 cases operated on, only two had relapses which were resolved using a second procedure. The average surgery time was short, without bleeding during the operation. Complete epithelization was achieved within a maximum 4-week span with minimal or no postoperative discomfort.
