Prior research has shown that surgical plume released in ablative procedures poses significant health risks to providers. For dermatologists, the possibility of oropharyngeal human papillomavirus (HPV) inoculation from inhalation of viral particles released in smoke has been previously documented. Despite this, there are limited guidelines of health and safety protocols for physicians performing electrodesiccation or laser surgery and many providers are still not vaccinated against HPV. Due to the occupational risk of autoinoculation, we recommend that all dermatologists be vaccinated against HPV.
先前的研究表明,消融手术中释放的手术烟雾会给医护人员带来重大健康风险。对于皮肤科医生而言,吸入烟雾中释放的病毒颗粒导致口咽人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)接种的可能性此前已有记载。尽管如此,针对进行电干燥或激光手术的医生的健康与安全规程指南有限,许多医护人员仍未接种HPV疫苗。鉴于自体接种的职业风险,我们建议所有皮肤科医生接种HPV疫苗。
