A short narrated demonstration of draining a left Bartholin duct cyst. After local anaesthetic, a scalpel opens the cyst, a hemostat confirms it is draining, and a Word catheter is placed with its balloon inflated with sterile water to keep the drainage tract open for several days.
Key points
- A left Bartholin duct cyst is identified at the vaginal opening and stabilized by hand
- Local anaesthetic is given before the scalpel opens the cyst cavity
- A hemostat is used to confirm the cyst is open and draining
- A Word catheter is inserted and its balloon inflated to keep the tract open

Drainage of a left Bartholanduct cyst. A left Bartholanduct cyst is identified at the vaginal opening. Stabilizing the cyst with thumb and forefinger, local anesthetic is given. A scalpel penetrates through the skin and into the cyst cavity, releasing cyst fluid. A hemostat confirms the cyst is now open and draining. A word catheter is inserted into the cyst cavity to keep the drainage tract open for several days. To keep the word catheter in place after insertion, the balloon tip is inflated with a few CCs of sterile water.
