Abstract

Aim: To report the study on radiofrequency ablation technique for eradication of palpebral margin neoplasm and its clinical effects.

Methods: One hundred and six cases with the palpebral margin neoplasm were performed surgical removal with radiofrequency ablation technique. The 1-2 months postoperative follow-up was investigated and the lost cases were excluded from statistics. The continuing follow-up lasted about 6-16months.

Results: One hundred cases underwent one treatment and 6 cases underwent two treatments. Six cases were missed. All the cases followed up healed well without pigmentation or scar left, nor eyelash loss or palpebral margin deformation. No case was recurrent.

Conclusion: Radiofrequency ablation has significant efficiency in eradicating the palpebral margin neoplasm.

Keywords: palpebral margin neoplasm; radiofrequency ablation.
