Basal Cell Carcinoma. Treatment with Carbon Dioxide Laser Vaporization

Treatment of superficial basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma in situ with a high-energy pulsed carbon dioxide laser.

BACKGROUND High-energy pulsed carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers have been used extensively to resurface wrinkled and photodamaged skin with a low risk of scarring. Results of histological studies demonstrate precise ablation depths in treated skin with minimal thermal damage to underlying tissue. Our objective was to determine if a pulsed CO2 laser could effectively ablate superficial malignant cutan...

Bartholin's gland cysts: management with carbon-dioxide laser vaporization.

PURPOSE To evaluate the effectiveness, recurrence rate, and complications of carbon-dioxide laser vaporization in the treatment of Bartholin's gland cysts. METHODS A retrospective study including 127 patients with symptomatic Bartholin' gland cysts submitted to carbon-dioxide laser vaporization at our institution from January 2005 to June 2011. Patients with Bartholin's gland abscesses and th...

Carbon Dioxide Laser Treatment of Cutaneous Neurofibromas

INTRODUCTION Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disorder, with multisystem involvement, including cutaneous manifestations of hyperpigmentation and neurofibromas. Multiple cutaneous lesions are often disfiguring and lead to emotional distress and social isolation. Treatment of NF1 is predominantly surgical but alternative treatments should be considered for patients with la...
