Introduction:
Bartholin's glands, also known as major vestibular glands, are responsible for a large number of gynecological diseases of the vulva. Bartholin's gland cysts and abscesses can present with different symptoms and the required surgical management should be marsupialization and not incision and drainage. Although the incision and drainage procedure was shown to be relatively quick and easy to perform, and the cure rate is rapid among patients receiving this type of surgical technique, it has nevertheless been shown that the recurrence trend has increased.
Objective:
to carry out an updated bibliographic review on the subject and its best management.
Data Source:
A systematic bibliographic search of the PubMed, Hinari and academic google databases was carried out from 1985 to 2020.
Conclusions:
The best level of care for women with Bartholin's gland cysts or abscesses could never achieved without interprofessional collaboration.

For example, mucous, a watery secretion rich in the glycoprotein mucin, is a merocrine secretion. The eccrine...
