| Popis: | Introduction: Bartholin cysts and abscesses may occur in about 2% of gynaecological cases per year. Different types of treatment (puncture, marsupiatisation, sclerosis, excision of the gland, etc.) have been proposed, with different percentages of recurrence and complications. A series of 5 cases are presented, in which, after practicing complete excision of the gland due to benign disease, vulvar pain and anatomic distortion appeared as late complications. Objective: To analyse the results based on the technique used, including the importance of late complications (pain and anatomical distortion), as well as their impact on the quality of later life. Results: Given the benign disease of the Bartholin gland (abscess or cyst), the gland must be maintained so that it can continue fulfilling its role. Its future functioning can be assessed during follow-up by using a quality of life test that includes sexuality. Finally, care practices in these patients must be improved, especially in the case of a slow progress, not allowing the development of chronic pain stimulus. (C) 2019 Elsevier Espana, S.L.U.
