- Abstract
- Bartholin's duct cysts, the most common growths in the vulva, occur in the labia majora. The cyst may become infected, and an abscess may develop in the gland. Rectovaginal fistula is a rare complication and its formation is secondary to Bartholin's cyst; only 4 cases have been reported in the literature so far. In this case, the fistula was located between the rectum and a Bartholin's duct, rather than the vagina and the rectum. We present the first case of a recto-Bartholin's duct fistula, performed surgical excision and fistulectomy. Postoperative treatment with antibiotics resulted in the complete resolution of all lesions at the 3-month follow-up. (C) 2015 S. Karger AG, Basel
