ABSTRACT
Objective: To determine the behavior of eyelid surgery with CO2 laser.
Methods: A prospective, longitudinal, observational and descriptive study whose sample consisted of 136 eyes from 93 patients, who underwent carbon dioxide laser surgery at the oculoplasty service of "Ramón Pando Ferrer" Cuban Institute of Ophthalmology from January to October, 2009.
Results: Of the total number of patients, 40 were females and 53 males; 9.7% aged 20 to 39 years, 15% aged 40 to 59 years; 48.4 % were 60 to 79 years and 23.7% over 80 years. Skin type I was present in 50 patients (53,8 %), and type II in 33,3 % of cases. C02 laser was used for cutting and coagulation in dermatochalasis, accounting for 31.6% and in ectropion for 20,6 %. As a scanner it was used in 11 seborrheic keratoses. No complications were observed in 94.6% of cases; just 5 patients did for 5.4% of the total.
Conclusion: The highest number of patients was older than 60 years males with skin type I. This equipment was used to treat multiple adnexal conditions, being dermatochalasis the most common followed by eyelid malpositions. The surgical transcutaneous technique dominated in more than half of patients with dermatochalasis and the external canthal fixation in positional abnormalities. This equipment was mostly used as cutting and coagulation tool. Complications were minimal and the most frequent one was scar retraction.
