CO2 Laser Treatment for Bartholin Gland Abscess: Ultrasound Evaluation of Risk Recurrence

摘要: Abstract Study Objective To evaluate the efficacy of CO 2 laser treatment and parameters correlated with recurrence in patients Bartholin gland abscesses treated using this approach. Design Prospective study (Canadian Task Force classification II-2). Setting University hospital. Patients One hundred forty-seven who met eligibility criteria. Intervention Preoperative ultrasound evaluation lesions treatment. Measurements Main Results All received therapy, median operative time 15 minutes (range, 12–35 minutes). Median postoperative stay was 1 hours 1–4 hours). Estimated 3-year relapse-free rate 88.56%. Lesion wall thickness 0.5–1.5 mm, multilocular lesion, hyperechogenic lesion were recurrence. Conclusion could be a valid option. Ultrasound characteristics predict rate.
