PURPOSE
To evaluate the efficacy of the radiofrequency surgical unit for the removal of benign tumors at the eyelid margin. METHODS: Twenty-five benign tumors at the eyelid margin were removed with the Ellman Surgitron F.F.P.F(R). Histologic examination of the excised tumors was performed in 18 of the 25 cases. RESULTS: There were 15 eyes of 15 females and 10 eyes of 10 males with age ranging from 20.9 to 73.5 years (mean, 41.8 years). Over a mean follow-up of 21.1 months, there was no instance of recurrence in any of the patients. In addition, there were no serious complications except temporary foreign body sensation and eye discharges. CONCLUSIONS: Using the radiofrequency surgical unit for benign tumors at the eyelid margin may simplify the surgery, avoid recurrence, and produce a satisfactory cosmetic effect. |
