what sort of scar remains after a bartholin gland total removal? Is it better looking or worst looking than the scar of a marsupialization. Is it a closed stitched scar or an open one like the marsup?

Does removal create any problems with intercourse? does it make tha vagina more loose, is a lot of skin removed?
