Purpose: to assess the effectiveness of carbon dioxide laser light in the treatment of benign skin neoplasms.Material and methods. The researchers have analyzed outcomes in 1394 patients treated for benign skin neoplasms. In the main group (n = 1184), laser photocoagulation (vaporization) and laser photohydraulic preparation were applied. Laser surgical devices “Lancet-1” and “Lancet-2” in continuous and pulsed modes, power up to 20 W, focused beam up to 1 mm were used. In the control group (n = 210), traditional techniques (excision and electrocoagulation) were applied.Results. High effi ciency of CO2 laser light for the removal of benign skin neoplasms has been confi rmed. Such a technique has a minimal rate of complications and relapses and satisfactory aesthetic outcomes, compared to the conventional treatment.Conclusion. Carbon dioxide laser light is highly effective for treating benign skin neoplasms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
