ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To evaluate the efficacy of the Ellman Dento-Surg 90FFP for the isolated trichiasis or distichiasis.METHODS:
61 eyelashes of 23 patients, who were diagnosed as trichiasis or distichiasis and had less than 5 aberrant cilia that were isolated, were treated with the Ellman Dento-Surg 90FFP. At 1 week, 1 month, 2 month and 6 month postoperatively, we examined the success rate and postoperative complication.RESULTS:
Fifteen eyelashes of 9 patients were regrown after mean 1.3month follow-up period (75.4% success rate). Among 10 eyelashes of 6 patients, 2 eyelashes of 2 patients were regrown (80% success rate). Thirteen patients experienced mild burning sensation 1-2 days postoperatively. Eyelid notching was observed in 2 patients.CONCLUSIONS:
High frequency radio wave electrosurgery with Ellman Dento-Surg 90FFP is a simple and secure procedure with high success rate and negligible complication, and can be effectively used to treat isolated trichiasis or distichiasis.
