Efficacy and safety assessment of ultrapulse carbon dioxide laser in treating eyelid tumors
Journal Title: Eye Science (Yanke Xuebao) - Year 2023, Vol 38, Issue 8
Abstract
[Objective:] To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ultrapulse carbon dioxide (CO₂) laser in the treatment for various types of eyelid tumors. [Methods:] A total of 50 patients, including 12 males and 38 females, with eyelid tumors were included in the study. The age range is from 4 to 84 years. The tumors found in our study include eyelid pigmented nevus, xanthelasma, divided nevus, and molluscum. Among them, 25 cases involved the gray line of the eyelid, and 10 cases had a tumor diameter greater than 10 mm. All patients underwent ultrapulse CO₂ laser treatment and postoperative follow-up. The treatment outcomes were assessed through digital photos, and complications were recorded one month after surgery. [Results:] The total cure rate of the 50 cases of eyelid tumors in our study was 92%, with the effective rate reaching 100%. 4 cases of eyelid pigmented nevi recurred within one month after treatment, while all other patients were cured. Postoperative complications mainly included minor trichiasis (5 cases), partial sparse to absent eyelashes (4 cases), and hypertrophic scar with hyperpigmentation (4 cases). No other serious complications were reported in our study. [Conclusions] For eyelid tumors, especially eyelid margin and larger tumors, the ultrapulse CO₂ laser is a more precise, minimally invasive, safe and effective treatment method. It can be used as a preferred treatment option for eyelid tumors, and should be promoted widely in clinical practice.
