Treatment Overview
Ultrasonic-Assisted Bartholin Cyst Removal is an advanced minimally invasive gynecologic procedure that uses ultrasonic energy (harmonic technology) to precisely remove or drain a Bartholin cyst or abscess while preserving healthy tissue and ensuring rapid, scar-free healing. The ultrasonic device simultaneously cuts, coagulates, and seals tissue, minimizing bleeding, pain, and recovery time.
In Korea, this procedure is performed under Women’s Health / OBGYN – Surgical Gynecology, where leading hospitals employ high-frequency ultrasonic systems (such as Harmonic Scalpel or SONOPET) combined with microsurgical and regenerative wound care techniques. Korean OBGYN surgeons are globally known for their expertise in aesthetic-functional gynecology, offering precision procedures that prioritize comfort, aesthetics, and long-term results.
Purpose & Benefits
- Removes Bartholin cysts or abscesses with minimal tissue trauma.
- Uses ultrasonic energy for bloodless, heat-controlled, and precise surgery.
- Prevents recurrence while preserving nearby healthy tissue.
- Ensures aesthetic and scar-free healing.
- Reduces postoperative pain, swelling, and downtime.
- Short procedure with same-day discharge.
- Performed under local anesthesia or mild sedation.
- Promotes rapid recovery with minimal risk of infection.
Ideal Candidates
- Women diagnosed with a Bartholin cyst or abscess requiring removal.
- Patients with recurrent cysts or infections unresponsive to conservative care.
- Those seeking minimally invasive, precise, and scar-free surgery.
- Women preferring quick recovery and minimal postoperative discomfort.
- Patients who want to preserve vaginal function and appearance.
Possible Risks & Complications
Ultrasonic-assisted Bartholin cyst removal in Korea is extremely safe, thanks to advanced surgical equipment and high medical standards. However, mild temporary effects may occur:
- Minor swelling or tenderness for 1–2 days.
- Light vaginal discharge or spotting.
- Temporary tightness or mild soreness around the incision.
- Very rare recurrence if gland tissue remains.
- Minimal infection risk (prevented with antibiotic prophylaxis).
Korean OBGYN centers use ultrasonic precision systems, antibacterial irrigation, and collagen-based healing to minimize complications and promote excellent cosmetic results.
Surgical Techniques Used
Korea’s women’s hospitals combine ultrasonic energy systems with microsurgical expertise and aesthetic-functional care to ensure optimal outcomes:
- Ultrasonic Dissection (Harmonic Scalpel or SONOPET): Uses high-frequency vibrations to simultaneously cut and coagulate, providing precision without heat injury.
- Microsurgical Cyst Excision: Removes the cyst or gland using fine micro-instruments under magnification.
- Ultrasonic-Assisted Marsupialization: Creates a new drainage opening for chronic cysts, performed with ultrasonic precision.
- Antibacterial Irrigation and Cleansing: Sterilizes the duct and surrounding area to prevent reinfection.
- Regenerative Healing Therapy (PRP or Collagen): Stimulates tissue repair and ensures soft, scar-free healing.
- Aesthetic Micro-Suturing: Delicate closure for symmetrical and natural vaginal contour.
- Pain-Free Local or Sedation Anesthesia: Ensures a calm, comfortable surgical experience.
Korean clinics employ 4K imaging systems, AI-guided incision planning, and ultrasonic harmonic technology, ensuring a superior level of safety and precision.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Procedure time: 30–45 minutes.
- Hospital stay: Outpatient; most patients return home the same day.
- Recovery time: Resume daily activities within 1–2 days; full recovery in 1–2 weeks.
- Mild soreness or discharge may persist for 1–3 days.
- Avoid sexual activity, tampon use, or soaking baths for 2 weeks.
- Keep the area clean and dry; gentle hygiene practices are essential.
- Follow-up visits: Recommended 1–2 weeks post-procedure to ensure proper healing.
- Laser or collagen therapy may be used postoperatively to accelerate tissue recovery.
Results & Longevity
- Immediate relief from pain, swelling, and infection.
- Smooth, scar-free healing with natural tissue regeneration.
- Minimal recurrence risk due to complete cyst or duct removal.
- Preserved vaginal aesthetics and function.
- High success rate (over 98%) in Korean OBGYN hospitals.
- Long-lasting or permanent results with restored comfort and confidence.
