- W2898025218 abstract "INTRODUCTION :As there are about 5-10% of all skin diseases amount to benign skin lesions andother cosmetically disabling conditions, amenable to laser therapy, it is decided to findout the effect of CO2 laser in the treatment from the patient’s point of view regardingbetter look cosmetically and psychologically.AIM AND OBJECTIVES :1. To asses the effect of CO2 Laser in benign skin conditions.2. To observe the side-effects of CO2 Laser while and after treatment.MATERIALS :A prospective analytical study was conducted in the department of dermatology,government stanley medical college and hospital, chennai, tamilnadu for a period oftwenty five months from august 2004 to september 2006.Sixty cases were serially selected from the OPD who fulfill the inclusioncriteria. This includes approximately 20% of failure expected either in the response totreatment and follow up. Selected cases were included after fulfilling the criteria, seriallynumbered, written consent obtained, proforma filled and filed. They were subjected tolaser treatment, the mode, the power, the frequency and the time of laser applicationcalculated depending on the type and depth of lesion, site of involvement and patient’sskin type. All the patients were treated under local anaesthesia ( 2% Xylocaine).Immediate side-effects were noted if any and the patients were followed up 1st week, 2ndweek, 1st month, 2nd month, 6th month and 12th month. During the post treatment periodthe patients were treated with topical antibiotics ( 1% Silver Sulphadiazine cream) andtopical sunscreen like Zinc oxide cream. Procedures were repeated at variable intervalsdepending upon the response and the results were analysed accordingly.INCLUSION CRITERIA :1.Uncomplicated benign skin and vascular conditions [Epidermal nevus,Intradermal naevus, Naevus sebaceous of jadassohn, Lentigines, Lymphangiomacircumscriptum ,Angiokeratoma, Benign appendageal tumors, Angiofibroma,Xanthelasma, etc].2. Tattoo,3. Hypertrophic scar,4. Patients who gave written consent for clinical photos and treatment.EXCLUSION CRITERIA:1. Patients who were not willing to give written consent,2. Secondary infections of the lesion to be treated.CONCLUSION :1. In our study, CO2 laser gave excellent results in conditions like Actinic cheilitis,Intradermal nevus, Verrucous epidermal nevus, Xanthelasma palpebrarum andSyringoma.2. In our study, CO2 laser gave good results in conditions like Angiofibroma, Tattooremoval, Hypertrophic scar and Angiokeratoma of Fordyce.3. In conditions like, Multiple Trichoepithelioma, Nevus of Ota and Colloid milium, therewas only minimal improvement. Perhaps better results would have been obtained withmore treatment exposures and better patient compliance.4. In conditions like, Keloid, Acne keloidalis nuchae and Lymphangiomacircumscriptum, there was high incidence of recurrences even after adequate treatmentsessions.5. The conditions included in our study should be followed up over a long period towatch out for any recurrences following CO2 laser treatment.6. The side effects like hypopigmentation, hyperpigmentation and mild atrophy wouldresolve over a period of time.7. Keloidal scars were developed in two cases following the treatment of verrucousepidermal nevus and tattoo removal which may be due to the inherent tendency of thepatients.8. CO2 laser offers a well tolerated treatment modality without compromising thecosmetic aspects.9. The CO2 laser is a good method of treatment for various benign skin lesions,especially where precise tissue ablation and concomitant haemostasis are desired." @default.
