CO2 laser systems enable highly controlled smart tissue managment for treating delicate anatomy and preservation of healthy tissue. It is most used for endoscopic transoral microsurgery of the pharynx and larynx because allows precision and efficiency. Due to the delicacy and minimally invasive operative method, CO2 lasers are increasingly becoming a first line treatment of early stage airway cancers, especially in the larynx.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the sexual functionality before and after treatment of Bartholin’s gland diseases (BGD) with CO2laser and to compare our results to patients who underwent surgical cold knife and to a healthy control group (HCG). Consecutive patients (n = 15) affected by BG cyst or abscess who underwent CO2laser treatment were evaluated. Patients were asked to complete the Italian translation of the Female Sexual Functioning Index (FSFI) before and 4 weeks after treatment.
