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