Minimally Invasive Excision of Epidermal Cysts through a Small Hole Made by a CO2 Laser
To improve the cosmetic results of removing epidermal cysts, minimally invasive methods have been proposed. We proposed a new minimally invasive method that completely removes a cyst through a small hole made by a CO 2 laser. Twenty-five patients with epidermal cysts, which were 0.5 to 1.5 cm in dia...
