ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To introduce an effective new surgical approach with high-frequency radio-wave electrosurgery to remove eyelid epidermal cysts.METHODS:
Thirteen patients (13 eyes) with eyelid epidermal cysts were enrolled in the present study. All patients underwent high-frequency radio-wave electrosurgery (Ellman surgitron(R)) to remove the epidermal cyst. The results were analyzed retrospectively, after a follow-up of more than 6 months.RESULTS:
At 6 months postoperatively, all eyes showed no recurrence of epidermal cyst. Additionally, no complications were reported by any patient.CONCLUSIONS:
High-frequency radio-wave electrosurgery is an effective procedure to remove eyelid epidermal cyst without recurrence.
