Illingworth BJG, et al. - Researchers investigated whether surgical interventions are effective and safe for treating symptomatic Bartholin’s cyst or abscess. Bibliographical databases from inception to April 2019 yielded eight trials, reporting data from 699 women, for inclusion. On considering the recurrence of symptomatic Bartholin’s cyst or abscess, comparison of marsupialization with incision, drainage, and insertion of a Word catheter yielded consistent evidence with notable effects in either direction. Evidence gained does not favor any single surgical intervention for the management of symptomatic cyst or abscess of the Bartholin’s gland.
