Blepharoplasty has long been employed for functional and cosmetic purposes. Different modalities have been utilized to incise and remove excess eyelid tissue in an attempt to improve surgical technique.
This study compares a free beam CO2 laser to a diamond surgical scalpel combined with a CO2 laser for performance of blepharoplasty.
Ten patients underwent bilateral upper lid blepharoplasty. One side was randomly assigned to the free beam CO2 laser technique, while the other side was performed with the diamond laser scalpel. Intraoperative surgical times and hemostasis were measured. Masked observers assessed postoperative parameters at day 1, week 1, week 2, week 4, and month 4. These assessments were analyzed clinically and statistically.
The two modalities produced similar results for the intraoperative and postoperative parameters studied.
The diamond laser scalpel has the advantage of tactile feedback and the option of use without coagulation.
睑成形术长期以来一直用于功能和美容目的。人们采用了不同的方式来切开和去除多余的眼睑组织，以试图改进手术技术。
本研究比较了自由光束二氧化碳激光与金刚石手术刀联合二氧化碳激光在睑成形术中的表现。
10例患者接受双侧上睑睑成形术。一侧随机分配采用自由光束二氧化碳激光技术，另一侧采用金刚石激光手术刀。测量术中手术时间和止血情况。蒙面观察者在术后第1天、第1周、第2周、第4周和第4个月评估术后参数。对这些评估进行临床和统计学分析。
对于所研究的术中及术后参数，两种方式产生了相似的结果。
金刚石激光手术刀具有触觉反馈的优势，并且可以选择不进行凝固操作。
