[Importance of Cryotherapy for Eyelid Papillomas]. / Kryotherapie in der Behandlung ausgedehnter Lidpapillome.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: Cryotherapy as a destructive procedure is an important alternative to the surgical excision of eyelid tumors. METHODS: We report our own experiences in the cryotherapy of large upper eyelid papillomas using spray- and contact-freezing. RESULTS/CONCLUSIONS: Cryotherapy gave excellent results in the treatment of unusually large papillomas. The preservation of collagen structures during cryotherapy provides a good aesthetic and functional outcome.
