作者描述了红宝石激光治疗巨大先天性痣的可能性和优势,作为手术切除的替代方法。文献回顾(1980年至2002年)和病例报告。文献和作者的经验表明红宝石激光治疗后具有良好的美容效果。皮肤纹理得到改善,色素沉着和难看的毛发生长大大减少。与手术治疗相比,红宝石激光治疗不会导致疤痕,截肢或功能障碍。只需要很短的门诊时间,恢复期极短,不需要康复期。即使经过8年的随访,红宝石激光治疗后也没有报告恶性变化。结果表明红宝石激光治疗可能是一个有价值的新的治疗方式为大先天性痣。当患者拒绝接受手术,或手术会导致严重的发病率时,应考虑。应开展更多的研究,以评估可能的风险和长期结果。
The authors describe the possibilities and advantages of ruby laser treatment of large congenital nevi as an alternative to surgical excision. The literature (from 1980 to 2002) is reviewed and a case report is presented. Literature and the authors’ experience show good cosmetic results after ruby laser treatment. Skin texture is improved and there is a considerable reduction in pigmentation and unsightly hair growth. Ruby laser treatment does not result in scarring, mutilation, or functional impairments, in contrast to surgical treatment. Only short outpatient sessions are required, recovery periods are extremely short, and no rehabilitation period is needed. No malignant changes have been reported after treatment with the ruby laser, even after 8 years of follow-up. The results imply that ruby laser treatment could be a valuable new treatment modality for large congenital nevi. It should be considered when patients refuse to undergo surgery, or when surgery would cause severe morbidity. More research should be initiated to assess possible risks and long-term results.
