Laser CO2 continu dans le traitement des hamartomes épidermiques verruqueux

A literature review has been made. Our satisfaction rates (nearly 90%) were slightly higher than other studies rates using carbon dioxide laser (74%) or other types of lasers (87%). The medium follow-up was longer than the one of other laser CO2 studies (26,7 months) or other lasers studies' (15,8 months). This study shows that continuous wave carbon dioxide laser is an easy and effective treatment of verrucous epidermal nevus. Aesthetic results are satisfying but moderate recurrences often occur. To prevent hypertrophic scars, we suggest to exclude teenagers.
