New operative technique for treatment of xanthelasma palpebrarum: Laser-inverted resurfacing: Preliminary report

摘要: Xanthelasma palpebrarum lesions are benign but present cosmetic problems to the patient. Their surgical removal has also presented surgeon. A new laser operative technique for xanthelasma is introduced avoid risk scarring and pigmentary changes after vaporization of eyelid tissue remove lesions, example, xanthelasma. The authors propose pulsed erbium yttrium aluminum garnet (Er:YAG) lipomatous off inner surface incision eversion incised expose Er:YAG choice because its high absorption in water thus self-limiting depth penetration coupled with extremely precise ablation. Two illustrative case reports presented, no recurrence seen a maximum 1 year follow-up. This offers following advantages: excision tumor required (bearing mind rate this lesion) wavelength allows good control accurate recognition end point.
