METHOD FOR TREATING VAST HEMANGIOMAS Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: the present innovation deals with treating vascular cutaneous neoplasms, vast hemangiomas, among them. Before surgical dissection of hemangioma one should carry out stage-by-stage laser impact with help of neodymium YAG-laser onto hemangioma's surface by coagulating hemangioma's nourishing vessels. In each stage one should start the impact from hemangioma's edge and, coming nearer towards its center, it is necessary to finish the stage of therapy. Laser impact should be started at energy level being 80 J/sq. cm not less, and in every next stage performed in 3-5 wk after the previous one it is necessary to increase energy against the previous stage to finish laser therapy at energy of not more than 145 J/sq. cm on achieving hemangioma's vascular resistance. The innovation enables to decrease the area of hemangioma that leads to obtaining better functional and cosmetic effect.

EFFECT: decreased traumatism of operation.
