Electrocoagulation of benign vulvar lesions

It is done by electrocautery or with a laser. Although they are benign, in the long term they can lead to certain problems.
Placement of Bartolino gland drains
The drainage of a cyst can be done with local anesthesia or with sedation. A small incision is made in the cyst, which allows it to drain, and then places a small rubber tube (catheter) in the incision. The catheter remains in place for a maximum of six weeks to keep the incision open and facilitate complete drainage.
Marsupialization of vaginal cysts
