Radiofrequency ablation micro-dissecting of eyelid nevus with XL-RFA device under operating microscope
Journal Title: International Journal of Ophthalmology - Year 2019, Vol 12, Issue 7
Abstract
"AIM: To study the effect of an innovative micro-dissection procedure by radiofrequency ablation (MRA) in removing eyelid nevus. METHODS: Fifty-six consecutive outpatients with eyelid nevus were treated with MRA using a monopolar device. The effect of MRA was determined after following-up for 6mo to 5y. RESULTS: Fifty-two cases (52 eyes, 92.9%) were cured once, and 4 cases (4 eyes, 7.1%) received second treatment for small residual. All cases healed well after surgery, with no pigmentation, no scars, no loss of eyelashes, no deformation of eyelid margin. There was no visual impairment after healing. CONCLUSION: MRA of eyelid nevus using the XL-RFA device is highly efficient without significant complications."
