The New England Journal of Medicine - Videos in Clinical Medicine - Abscess Incision and Drainage - "Incision and drainage is the primary therapy for cutaneous abscess management, as antibiotic treatment alone is inadequate for treating many of these loculated collections of infectious material. Most localized skin abscesses without associated cellulitis can be managed with simple incision and drainage and do not require antibiotic treatment. Cutaneous abscesses have been described in all areas of the body, but are most commonly found in the axillae, buttocks, and extremities. This outpatient procedure is appropriate for many office settings, as well as for urgent care and emergency department practice environments." - Abscess Incision and Drainage Michael T. Fitch, M.D., Ph.D., David E. Manthey, M.D., Henderson D. McGinnis, M.D., Bret A. Nicks, M.D., and Manoj Pariyadath, M.D. N Engl J Med 2007; 357:e20 November 8, 2007 DOI: 10.1056/NEJMvcm071319

The Bartholin glands are a pair of pea-sized, vulvovaginal, mucous-secreting vestibular glands that are located in the labia minora in the 4- and 8-o'clock positions, beneath the bulbospongiosus muscle. A Bartholin cyst is a fluid-filled sac that develops in one of the Bartholin glands or ducts when the duct that drains the fluid from the gland becomes blocked and causes the duct and gland to swell. A Bartholin gland abscess develops either when a Bartholin cyst becomes infected or when the Bartholin gland itself becomes infected."

Medscape - Reference - Laparoscopic Hysterectomy - Go to the "Multimedia Library" to see the images and videos - Author(s): Sara S Lange, MD, Robert V Higgins, MD, and Michel E Rivlin, MD - "Hysterectomies are one of the most common surgical procedures in the United States, with greater than 600,000 performed each year. For decades, abdominal and vaginal approaches accounted for the vast majority of hysterectomies. The advent of better laparoscopic technology resulted in the first total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) in 1989. Use of TLH has increased in the last 20 years. TLH accounted for 9.9% of all hysterectomies in 1997 and 11.8% in 2003."

For these women, myomectomy, the removal of the myomas with reconstruction and preservation of the uterus, is an important option."
