description OBJECTIVE: To describe the results of treatment with CO(2) laser for Bartholin gland cysts. METHODS: Thirty-one women with Bartholin gland cysts were treated with CO(2) laser at an outpatient´s setting. Skin incision was performed with focused laser beam, the capsule was opened to drain mucoid content, followed by internal vaporization of impaired capsule. RESULTS: There were no complications. Five patients had recurrence of the cyst and were submitted to a second and successful session. CONCLUSION: CO(2) laser surgery was effective to treat Bartholin gland cysts with minimal or no complications, and can be performed at an outpatient´s setting.
