Clinical efficacy of cryodestruction in benign ocular adnexa tumors

Abstract

The aim – to evaluate the functional state of ocular adnexa and of the eyeball after cryodestruction of benign eyelid and conjunctiva tumors using modern cryosurgical equipment. Materials and methods. Into the study, 87 patients (87 eyes) were included with eyelid and conjunctiva benign tumors after cryosurgical treatment of atheroma, cyst, papilloma, nevus, granuloma, xanthelasma using an autonomous cryoapplicator of porous permeable titanium nickelide. Results and conclusions. The study showed a high efficacy of cryogenic treatment method using an autonomous cryoapplicator of porous permeable titanium nickelide. Depending on dimensions of the lesion, exposure duration, and the number of repeated applications at the session, the recovery occurred within 1–2 months without functional defect and healthy tissue injury.
