Purpose:
Base cell carcinoma is a common skin malignancy involved in the facial area. Present surgical removal, cryosurgery and laser evaporation are the effective modalities. Following the development of laser technology, we used fine focused carbon dioxide laser surgery to treat basal cell carcinoma of the maxillofacial region.
Methods:
Six cases of base cell carcinoma were included in this study. Tumors were removed by CO2 laser scalpel under local anesthesia. Intra-operative laser biopsy and post-operative follow up was carried out.
Results:
six cases had radical result with a follow up of two years post-operatively with satisfactory contour.
Conclusion:
Laser scalpel excision can get radical result for basal cell carcinoma with advantages of safety, simple and less bleeding. It is recommended to be used.
