Summary
Radiofrequency ablation effectively treats eyelid tumors. This minimally invasive technique showed excellent healing without scarring or deformation, offering a promising solution for palpebral margin neoplasms.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Dermatology
- Surgical Oncology
Background:
- Palpebral margin neoplasms require effective and aesthetically considerate treatment.
- Traditional surgical methods may lead to scarring, pigmentation, or deformation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the efficacy and clinical outcomes of radiofrequency ablation for eyelid tumors.
- To assess the safety and cosmetic results of radiofrequency ablation in treating palpebral margin neoplasms.
Main Methods:
- Radiofrequency ablation was used for surgical removal in 106 cases of palpebral margin neoplasm.
- Postoperative follow-up ranged from 1-2 months, with extended follow-up for 6-16 months.
- Cases lost to follow-up were excluded from statistical analysis.
Main Results:
- 100 cases received one treatment, and 6 cases required two treatments.
- All followed-up cases demonstrated successful healing.
- No instances of pigmentation, scarring, eyelash loss, or eyelid margin deformation were observed.
Conclusions:
- Radiofrequency ablation is a highly efficient method for eradicating palpebral margin neoplasms.
- The technique offers excellent cosmetic results and a low recurrence rate.
